Kawasaki Ninja 1000 [2018-2019] Summary
The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is a litre-class sports tourer motorcycle from Team Green. The latest edition of the motorcycle comes with updated graphics but is otherwise identical to the outgoing model.
The Ninja 1000 uses a 1043cc in-line four-cylinder engine which generates 140bhp at 9,600 rpm and 111Nm of torque at 8,800 rpm. The bike gets a secondary balancer to the crankshaft and a new intake resonator to soften the intake roar.
As for electronics, the Ninja 100 now gets a 6-axis Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with traction control, ABS and cornering management. The bike also features three power modes for different conditions. Stopping power for the front is derived from dual 300mm petal discs while the rear gets a 250mm disc.
The 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is available in two colour schemes -- green and black, as standard. Kawasaki has also added a grey option to the colour palate but it is available until stock lasts as only 60 units have been allotted for the Indian market. The bike competes against the Suzuki GSX-S1000F and the Ducati Supersport in India.

A beast on road to zoom past everbody

Parminder Rana
Perfect bike for long rides, and very comfortable for highways. Looks are just astonishing. power and grunt are menacing when you zoom through traffic.I had driven it 10k and never found anything that needed to be changed. It's a head turner and elegant enough to occasionally be used in the city also.yearly maintenance is approx.

Kawasaki motosaki navi mumbai was very helpful for making my decision. I was confused between z900 and 1000 but when i rode z900 i find it too much powerful without any safety features. 2018 model. So suggested to buy N 1000 and it was best decision. Riding quality is best in class. No more fatigue on long rides. Even in city ride it is comfortable with little bit of heat. Power modes in city ride with low mode which gives 70 percent of power which equals to 109 hp and its more than enough for city. 3 traction controls works awesome. I ride my bike for 2400km in 2 weeks and it feels awesome. Looks are killer everyone on road turns head to check out whats coming. On highways it runs like wild cat. Pick up is smooth. In fool power its beast. 230 speed is peanut to catch. 0 to 100 in 3 secs its equal to most of ducati line up. In this price range this is practical bike to buy. Maintenance 1st service on 1000 km or 1 month second on 6 months or 6000km oddo reading and then every 6000km or 6 months. 1st service cost 9k which is reasonable for litter class bikes. Its less than most of triumph ducati beneli line up. Every 12000km is oil change but its better to change on every service. Con i found that its ground clearance is only 135mm so catalytic converter gets touch on speed breakers. But its sturdy so not big issue. If u feel so then go for full exhaust system and issue is resolved. Japan build quality is awesome. Very high tech. But in electronics ducati and bmw is way ahead. This is one of the best sports tourer in market. 2020 version comes with quick shifters and blipers and cruise control and tft screen. Its worth buying. I am very very happy with my purchase.

Tips for other riders
Maintain tyre thread and pressure always. Have ceramic coating done once brought. It will keep shiny for life long. Warranty is for 2 years so go for regular maintenance service on time. Oil and filter u can change at home. No big deal. Maintenance cost in range 5 to 10k if no oil change then it will go around 5 to 6k

I have been using this bike for almost 18 months now and i should admit it that i never had post purchase dissonance. The performance, handling, maintenance, reliability is good. Across all parameters. And not to forget that this bike is definitely an eye catcher and it turns all eyes on you. When it comes to looks, man, while there are many super bikes out there in the market, the looks are stunning especially the rear and front with dual silencers. Highway cruising at high triple digit speeds one of the best with not even an iota of vibrations and i liked the humming sound even while idling. Cornering capabilities are simply superb and the abs comes in handy coupled with two riding modes namely low and full power. I would say one of the most reliable bike as kawasaki is known for. The drawback is on the high turning radius and off-course it's a big bike and this is expected.

Looks amazing feels amazing comfort is amazing but it is a complex machine for it cannot be used as a daily driver as it is an expensive beauty, It gives a different road presence and is elegant looking. It's a machine to be taken on a long drive without applying much of breaks and hit the road wild.
