The Ninja 1000 is essentially a sport bike made more comfortable and useful for touring. The best of both worlds so to speak. A fun, superbike motor that's punched out to 1043 cc's for the added torque and available power for those long trips. The Ninja 1000 uses the same 1,043 cc inline four-cylinder engine that’s also found in the naked Z1000 and the Versys 1000 LT. The engine is tuned a bit differently in each of those three models, however, and in the Ninja 1000, most dyno charts show peak horsepower in the neighborhood of 125. While that doesn’t match the flashier numbers of the race replica literbikes, which are making 40 more horsepower, the Ninja 1000’s higher torque at lower engine speeds means it’s just as fast at normal street speeds. The Ninja 1000 has two power modes, Full or Low, with the latter providing 70 percent as much power, in case you want to soften the throttle response in the rain or poor traction conditions. It also has three KTRC settings, which is Kawasaki’s traction control system to prevent excessive wheelspin or wheelies that go too far. The Ninja 1000 also comes with ABS, a radial-mount monobloc caliper squeezing 300 mm petal-style discs, and a radial-pump front brake master cylinder, so Kawasaki didn’t cheap out on the stopping power. Throttle response was smooth and power is abundant everywhere on the tach dial. This is not the peaky inline-four you may be imagining. Kawasaki made sixth gear a little taller when the model was last revised, and an indicated 75 mph in sixth gear is now about 5,000 rpm, which means you can just twist the throttle and squirt ahead in traffic situations on the highway, or you can downshift and squirt ahead even faster. So for a sporty touring bike. This Ninja will offer a very well rounded experience. It has the aftermarket exhaust. This bike, like all our bikes will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery.
