Kawasaki's next-generation Versys 900 was caught testing on public roads near Montenegro, spotted by readers of Germany's Motorrad Online alongside a film crew. If it carries over the Z900's current tune, expect a 948cc inline-four making 124hp and 97Nm, with the bike tipped to weigh under 230kg.

If Kawasaki really just drops in the Z900's stock tune, we're talking a 948cc inline-four making 124hp at 9,500rpm and 97Nm — numbers that get my pulse up. Pair that with an all-new tubular steel frame plus Versys 1100-spec inverted forks and dual discs up front, and this thing is shaping up to be exactly my kind of bike.

What kind of bike is the Versys exactly?

It'll have a lot of Japanese adventure rivals in North America

If it's really under 230kg, loading it up sounds fun

With that carrying capacity it'd be perfect for long tours

948cc four making 124hp sounds plenty on paper
