NINJA 1000
Kawasaki’s Ninja 1000 was recently introduced in the Indian market alongwith the Z1000. The Motorcycle ranks second, in hierarchy, among the Ninja range around the world. The motorcycle is an able sports tourer from the Japanese bike major and is the fifth motorcycle in India to wear the Ninja moniker.
The powerful engine pulls strongly from all rpm and does not let up before the red-line.Adding to rider exhilaration, the engine delivers superb response, a strong mid-range hit and an intoxicating intake howl.More direct response thanks to revised engine settings adds to the Ninja 1000’s sporty street riding potential.
