Kawasaki says the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is the gentleman's bike.
For 2017, Kawasaki has not touched the frames, engine internals, and suspensions.
The rest has been highly revised to offer more aggression and convince
The engine is still a 1043cc liquid cooled inline four outputting 138 bhp @ 9, 600 rpm and 72.68 lb-ft of torque @ 8, 800 rpm. Subtle tweaks have improved throttle response and torque spread. There are further ECU revisions to meetEuro4 emission standards. A secondary balancer geared to the cranKSHA139ft has been added to reduce vibration, and a new intake resonator has been integrated to soften intake roar below 7000rpm yet “give it character” above that point.
