A prototype believed to be Kawasaki's next Versys 900 has been spotted testing. The current lineup has a gap between the Versys 650 and Versys 1100, and the new model is expected to use the same 948cc inline-four found in the Z900. A full reveal is anticipated at EICMA.

No spec sheet yet, but compared with the current lineup, that empty 900cc slot might finally get filled. If it really shares the Z900's 948cc inline-four, it should be in the 125hp range, and if cruise control and a TFT display show up too, the equipment level changes completely. This is the good part — I'm looking forward to the guessing game running up to EICMA.

At 900cc, highway cruising should feel a lot more relaxed.

Honestly not clear what actually separates it from the 650.

Getting this hyped over spy shots alone feels premature.

This kind of speculation is basically an annual ritual by now.

Tiger Sport still looks like more fun to me though.

A lot of people have been waiting for a Versys 900.

If it really borrows the Z900 engine, low-120s horsepower seems safe to assume.
