SEDUCTIVE SUPERSPORT STYLING

The Ninja 1000’s well-integrated full-fairing styling offers a good indication of its sporty character.  Featuring a “personal jet fighter” motif, the sensuous styling is both audacious and subtle at the same time. 

The aggressive design gives the Ninja 1000 ABS its own distinct appearance, yet is instantly recognisable as a Kawasaki.

 

ninja1000_abs_style

Supersport-style full-fairing

Supersport-style full-fairing bodywork gives the Ninja 1000 ABS a distinct, head-turning look of its own.

The sleek styling also offers a good measure of wind protection, facilitating short touring runs.

The leading edges of the fairings feature a slat-style design that directs the wind around the bike, enabling the fairings to be slimmer in the middle.

Sporty-instrument-panel

Sporty instrument panel

Sporty instrument panel features a large analogue tachometer and multi-function LCD screen.

The design is based on that of the Ninja ZX-6R, but features original font and colouring.

Functions include: speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, odometer, clock, dual trip meters, and warning lamps.

Original-design-front-turn-

Original-design front turn signals

Original-design front turn signals mount directly to the fairings.

Turn signal units are attached to the inside of the fairing using rubber mounts to minimise fairing damage should the bike fall over.

RIDING EXCITEMENT: ENGINE

Riding excitement is about more than just performance figures. Riding impact comes from the sensations the rider feels. 

Twisting the throttle results in a strong response from all rpm, the engine pulling strongly right to redline. Superb throttle response, power delivery with a mid-range hit make accelerating an exhilarating experience.

ninja1000_abs-action

High-Torque-Engine

High-Torque Engine

Tuned to deliver abundant low-and mid-range torque, with a distinctive power kick around 7,000 rpm.
A low crankshaft and five-degree downward engine tilt help the engine to maintain its compact size and a secondary engine balancer is gear-driven off the
crankshaft and helps reduce engine vibration, which allows a stiffer chassis for improved handling.

To decrease engine weight and improve heat transfer, the cylinders have linerless, chrome composite plated aluminium bores.

Cool_Air_intake

Cool Air System

With the airbox nestled between the frame beams, intake air can be affected by engine heat.  The Cool Air system routes cool air to the airbox from ducts at the front of the side fairings, minimising performance loss due to heated intake air. 

This should not be confused with Ram Air, where force-fed air becomes pressurised in the airbox. A resonator inside the airbox reduces noise at low rpm, and enhances intake sound at high rpm.

exhaust-system

Exhaust System

The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout.  Silencer end-caps create a quad-style image.

Thanks to the under-engine pre-chamber, silencer volume could be kept to 3 litres each and silencer weight to 3500 g each, greatly contributing to mass centralisation and a lower centre of gravity.

RIDING EXCITEMENT: CHASSIS

To ensure maximum riding excitement, the Ninja 1000 ABS offers a quick-steering and light-handling package. A highly rigid aluminium frame with high mass centralisation balances sharp turning and firm handling.  Supersport-style front brakes add to the high level of control.

Aluminium-Twin-tube-Frame

Aluminium Twin-tube Frame

Aluminium twin-tube frame design features frame beams that go over engine, allowing a narrow construction that is easy to grip with the knees.

Lightweight and highly rigid, the frame uses the engine as a stressed member.  The frame contributes to handling, offering a firm, planted feeling, good stability and light, nimble turning.

Horizontal-Back-link-Rear-S

Horizontal Back-link Rear Suspension

Rear suspension positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm.

This arrangement contributes to mass centralisation. The suspension is located far enough from the exhaust that operation is not affected by heat.

Visible from the outside, the Horizontal Back-link rear suspension contributes to the appearance of the Ninja 1000. The rear shock features rebound and preload adjustability. A cam-style preload adjuster facilitates making adjustments to suit 2-up riding or luggage.

ABS-Front-and-Rear-Brakes

ABS Front and Rear Brakes

Instead of mounting the four-piston callipers with threaded tabs cast near the top of the calliper, the radial design utilises integrated mounting points at both the top and bottom of the calliper, with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of
the calliper instead of the side/front.

This makes the calliper more rigid, which improves brake feel over a wider range of
operation.

For added braking reassurance, ABS brakes are fitted standard and the radial pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and feel at the lever.

EVERYDAY VERSATILITY

With a relaxed riding position that can accommodate everything from city riding to touring to sport riding, and numerous bike-life-enhancing features, the Ninja 1000 complements its street riding excitement with a depth not available on Super-Naked or supersport models.

13ZX1000H_SAB_GRN_LS

Relaxed-Riding-Position

Relaxed Riding Position

Relatively upright position offers both control and comfort. The rider triangle is essentially the same as that of the Z1000, with grips moved about 10 mm inward.

Separate, raised handlebars contribute to the sporty, comfortable riding position. The handlebar stays are mounted to the fork tube tops, which extend above the upper triple clamp.

Adjustable-Windscreen

Adjustable Windscreen

Windscreen has three available positions spanning approximately 20o and ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. 

Adjustment can be done by hand (no tools required) by depressing the release button below the instrument panel.  (Windscreen adjustment should be done with the bike stopped.)

 

Large-volume-Fuel-Tank

Large-volume Fuel Tank

19 litre fuel tank offers a substantial touring range.

Dynamic fuel tank design with tall upper surface features supersport-style flared edges with a trim shape at the rear, a shape that is easy to grip with the knees. 

Steel construction facilitates the use of a magnetic tank bag. The use of a slim-type fuel pump features a unitised fuel gauge and the fuel tank design and slim-type fuel pump minimise dead volume inside the tank.
