The numbers
Figures from Autocar India,
| Versys 1100 price: | Rs 13.89 lakh |
|---|---|
| Z1100 price: | Rs 12.79 lakh |
| Z1100 to Versys 1100 price gap: | Rs 1.10 lakh |
Why it matters for the brand
The Versys 900 is not due in India until 2027, so there is nothing to stock or pitch yet; Kawasaki dealers should treat it as a future step-up for Z900 buyers (Rs 9.99 lakh ex-showroom) and avoid promising prices or dates to walk-ins.
