Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX or Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
  • The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is the Japanese brand’s liter-class sports tourer. It features a fully-faired bodywork akin to a supersport motorcycle. However, the ergonomics are comfortable enough for both city riding and relaxed touring. For optimum control, the motorcycle gets electronic rider aids such as Full/Low power mode, a three-mode traction control system, four riding modes with electronic cruise control and ride-by-wire, and cornering ABS. On the other hand, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a liter-class track machine, the Ninja ZX-10R has won three World Superbike Championships in a row. Thanks to its racing credentials, the motorcycle is one of the most highly sought-after machines in its segment. The peak torque of 113.5Nm arrives at 11,500rpm. The engine works in conjunction with Bosch’s 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit that communicates with a range of assorted rider aids. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX vs Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R.
Q. Should I buy Ninja 1000SX or Ninja 650?
  • Both bikes come in different price ranges. Kawasaki has done a smashing job of making the Ninja 650 a whole lot sportier than before. This sporty vibe stems from its Ninja ZX-6R-inspired looks and builds further with the revv-happy motor that surrounds you with a lovely raspy soundtrack. The suspension setup too is well-tuned to tackle bad tarmac stretches. There are a few drawbacks like the erratic ABS intervention, low ground clearance and tyres that don’t perform too well in wet conditions. The latter two can be solved by taking extreme precaution over oversized speed humps and by swapping out the tyres for something grippier. The ABS calibration issue can be a bit unnerving but you will have to pay more heed when grabbing the brakes. As a whole though, the Ninja 650 BS6 certainly appeals to both the mind as well as the heart, making it a good option for someone who wants to go out there and buy their first proper big bike. On the other hand, If budget is not a issue and looking for a better power performance at a price and often go for long rides, Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX would be a good option. However, it is a bit heavier side and a bit difficult to handle in narrow roads or in city conditions. Apart from it, it offers better feature list, riding modes and better road grip. Also, it is the cheapest bike in its segment that delivers 142 PS/111 Nm. You may compare both bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
