The 2011 Ninja 1000 is therefore fitted with a 1043cc inline four-cylinder engine outputting 136hp (101kW) and 110 Nm (81 lb.ft.), as well as with Z1000's aluminium frame, plus the same suspension and brakes.
The major difference, however, is that it adds a full fairing, mounts for panniers/top box, a three-way manually adjustable windscreen and a larger 19-liter (5 US gallons) fuel tank.
“Like the original from 1986, the new Ninja 1000 offers an alluring blend of capability and technology, from the very latest racetrack components, to astounding engine and chassis performance, to cutting-edge styling that’ll stop you in your tracks,” a company statement reads.
The new Ninja 1000 ABS will be offered in two colours, Candy Lime Green with Ebony or just plain Ebony, and will be available with a host of optional touring accessories.
