STYLING

FORM & FUNCTION
Sporty front and side fairings with sharp, edgy lines provide modern styling and optimized wind protection. A single-sided muffler further enhances the inherent Ninja® styling, reflecting the dynamic experience you get with every ride.

SIGNATURE NINJA® LOOK
Chin spoilers similar to those on the Ninja H2™ and Ninja® ZX™-10R motorcycles strengthen the family resemblance.

INTEGRATED & MODERN
Front and rear turn signals are integrated, contributing to the modern aggressive sportbike image.

SUPERB VISIBILITY
See and be seen with dual low-profile LED headlights that feature low and high beams for excellent brightness.


PERFORMANCE

EXHILARATION FOUND HERE
The powerful liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder 1,043cc engine delivers major power with strong mid-range performance. Power delivery is responsive and comes with an intoxicating intake howl.

ASSIST & SLIPPER
The Assist and Slipper Clutch offers light clutch pull and minimizes rear wheel chatter caused by excessive engine braking due to quick downshifting.

RIGID & BALANCED
The aluminum twin tube frame is highly rigid and features a high degree of mass centralization ensuring a balance of agility and firm handling.

TUNED FOR DISTANCE
Whether you're looking for sporty riding or comfortable touring, the Ninja® 1000 motorcycle's suspension is fine-tuned to make the most of sport touring. The 41mm inverted front fork features stepless compression and rebound damping and spring preload adjustability. The horizontal back-link rear suspension offers remote rebound and preload adjustability for tandem riding, luggage or rider preference.

CONFIDENT GRIP
Battlax Hypersport S22 tires contribute to light handling while offering enhanced grip in both dry and wet conditions.


COMFORT

ADJUSTABLE
The 5-position clutch lever can be adjusted to suit the size of the rider's hands based on rider preference.

WIDE & COMFORTABLE
Rider and passenger seat material offers superb elasticity and resistance to cold temperatures for optimal comfort. The rider seat is fabricated of dense, springy urethane cushioning that helps retain original shape.

ERGONOMIC & EASY
The ergonomically sculpted passenger grips are easy to hold and naturally positioned.

RELAXED & COMFORTABLE
Adaptable, relaxed upright riding position is comfortable and optimized to accommodate a full range of riding situations.

MAKE EVERY RIDE A BREEZE
An adjustable windshield offers four available positions ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. Set up is easy and doesn't require any tools.

CONVENIENCE

DIGITAL LANDSCAPE
All-digital TFT (thin-film transistor) color instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech, high-grade appearance and visibility. The screen's background color is selectable (black or white), and screen brightness adjusts automatically to suit available light.

GET CONNECTED
A Bluetooth® chip built into the instrument panel enables riders to connect to their motorcycle wirelessly. Using the smartphone application (via RIDEOLOGY THE APP*) a number of instrument functions can be accessed allowing you to view vehicle info, riding log, phone notifications, and general settings.

INTELLIGENT & RESPONSIVE
The Ninja® 1000 motorcycle is equipped with Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), a supersport-grade high-precision multi-sensing ABS brake assistance system. Plus, an electric cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button.
