Aluminium Chassis

Kawasaki engineers wanted quick-steering and light-handling. They got exactly that thanks to an aluminium backbone frame designed specifically for the 2010 Z1000. Similar in concept to the ZX-10R, the frame beams go over the engine allowing a narrow construction that is easy to grip with the knees.

High-Torque Engine

Tuned for performance, the 1,043 cm³ engine offers greater power and torque than that of its predecessor. The engine spins up noticeably faster from 7,000 rpm onwards and the silky smooth response from mid-high rpm ensures excellent driveability.

Seductive Full-Fairing Styling

The seductive supersport inspired full-fairing styling reflects the Ninja 1000 ABS's sporty street riding performance.
Cruising Features Cool Air System ABS Front and Rear Petal Discs

Cruising Features

Features like the large volume 19 litre fuel tank, adjustable windscreen and ergonomic, easy to grab, aluminium passenger grips makes long distance riding a treat. Optional extras like top case and side panniers are also available.

Cool Air System

Cool air is routed to the airbox from stylish looking ducts above the shrouds and through the frame to minimise power loss due to heated air. Not only resulting in more power, the intake sound is menacing, audible to the rider thanks to the positioning of the ducts.

ABS Front and Rear Petal Discs

The Ninja 1000 ABS comes equipped with ABS as standard. The front brake's radial mount caliper and radial pump master cylinder offer formidable stopping power and superb braking control. The rear caliper is mounted below the swingarm freeing up space for the ABS sensor and resulting in a more racy look.
