The Ninja 1000 is pegged as a relaxed sports touring motorcycle, which can double up as an everyday ride. 

The Ninja 1000’s styling draws inspiration from the Ninja ZX-10R superbike. The front s dominated by a sharp twin-headlamp setup and a tall windscreen.

The riding position is not overtly aggressive, with a handlebar is raised and the footpegs slightly rear-set. The seat is spacious and comfortable.

At the heart of the Ninja 1000 is a 1043cc inline four engine delivering 140bhp and 111Nm of torque through a six-speed transmission with a slipper clutch. 

The power is kept on leash by a three-level power mode selector and an independent a three-level traction control system. 

The Ninja 1000 rides on 17-inch wheels with 41mm inverted front forks and a rear monoshock. Both can adjusted from compression, rebound and preload. 

The brake setup consists of dual 300mm petal discs at the front and a single 250mm disc at the rear. ABS is offered as standard. 

The 2019 Ninja 1000 is available in two paint schemes – black and a dual tone green/grey. It competes against the Ducati SuperSport and Suzuki GSX-S1000F.
