While other companies are increasing the number of their products in India slowly, Kawasaki is making aggressive moves and brining new motorcycles every now and then. After introducing the new Ninja 650, Z650 and the Z900 in the market a few months back, the Japanese auto giant has now launched the 2017 Ninja 1000 along with a stripped-down version of the Z900.
Ninja 1000
Priced at Rs 9.98 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is not all-new but gets a facelift update in India. The high-performance sport tourer retains the same chassis along with the same powertrain from the outgoing model.
Ninja 1000
Priced at Rs 9.98 lakh (ex-showroom), the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is not all-new but gets a facelift update in India. The high-performance sport tourer retains the same chassis along with the same powertrain from the outgoing model.
Though it looks much similar to its predecessor, there are lots of changes in design which are further complimented with a revised colour scheme. The front fairing is wider and the windshield is taller (15mm) which is also adjustable up to three levels without any tool.
The bike also gets improved LED headlamp units which are said to provide better low and high beam projection, using 50 per cent less power.
The Ninja ZX-10R derived 1,043cc, inline-four motor in the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 delivers 142PS at 10,000rpm and 111Nm of torque at 7,300rpm. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox using a slipper clutch arrangement for flawless shifting.
Other key features of the bike include fully adjustable suspension, KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System), KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) and three-mode KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control).
While it will be assembled locally to retail in India, the company has allowed just 20 units of the Ninja 1000 for the market.

Kawasaki Z900
It is the same Kawasaki Z900 which is already on sale in India but with some cost cutting. For that, the company has reduced some accessories which were earlier available standard with the bike.
The eliminated package includes a flyscreen, a gel tank pad, premium seat cover, pillion seat cowl with rider back support, 12V charging socket on the handlebar, crash bobbins for the front forks, engine guards, engine casing covers and a radiator guard.
The Z900 which was priced at Rs 9 lakh, will be available in the cost-cut version for just Rs 7.68 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, this is enough to give sleepless nights to the competitors, which are Ducati Monster 797 and Triumph Street Triple S.
