Overview
The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX (Z1000SX) is a sportbike produced from 2020 through 2024. The 2024 model has a 1043 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke in-line four producing 140 hp (105 kW) and 113.5 Nm of torque; wet weight is 233.1 kg.
Peak torque arrives at 7300 rpm, so reaching it means revving the engine. The 820 mm seat and 233.1 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding, while the ABS, assist and slipper clutch, and adjustable front and rear suspension add useful control and setup options.
