Lean-activated lights built into the fairings help illuminate the road when cornering.
Ergonomically designed front seat both provides comfort for spending long hours in the saddle, and accommodates position changes for sportier riding. Both rider and passenger seats are wider than previous, and revised shapes, thickness and density add to rider and passenger comfort.
TPMS continuously monitors tyre air pressure while riding, adding to rider reassurance on long tours.
KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) master key system allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch and steering lock.
Attaching and removing the accessory panniers is simple and convenient thanks to the mounting system. When mounted, the panniers integrate seamlessly with the rear of the bike; when removed, the clutter-free design ensures the rear of the bike looks good.
The rear-facing radar sensor monitors the bike’s surroundings and alerts the rider to presence of a vehicle approaching in the rider’s blind spot.
Activated when the rider has stopped and firmly applies the brake(s), VHA engages the rear brake to allow the rider to relax their brake hand/foot.
Large, easy-to-read 6.5” full-colour TFT instrumentation adds a high-tech touch to the cockpit. Complementing the multiple display modes and smartphone connectivity, compatibility with Kawasaki SPIN offers numerous infotainment possibilities.
KECS, Kawasaki’s semi-active electronic suspension system, adapts to road and riding conditions in real time, providing the ideal amount of damping called for. Updated software incorporates Skyhook technology to deliver an even more composed ride, contributing to increased comfort and enjoyment.
Designed to offer both power and fuel efficiency, the Balanced Supercharged Engine delivers a maximum power of 200 PS. Tuning focused on the low-mid range prioritises everyday usability in street-riding situations over outright performance, and helps to achieve fuel efficiency exceeding that of the Ninja 1000SX and Versys 1000.
On the SE model, high-spec Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers offer enhanced control. The compact, lightweight calipers minimise the internal space taken up by fluid, enabling a more direct response. Stylema calipers cool very rapidly thanks to a design that promotes airflow around the brake pads, space around the pistons, and an opening that allows air to exit from the central bridge.
