2025 Ninja 1100SX SE Performance Tourer

Improved Fuel Economy

The Ninja 1100SX achieves both an increase in engine power and improved fuel economy at the same time thanks to revised engine components, longer 5th and 6th gears, and a lower rev limit.

Wind Protection

Wind protection afforded by the full-fairing bodywork is complemented by a windshield with four available positions. The windshield is adjustable by hand (without tools).

Increased Touring Performance

Improved fuel economy, longer 5th and 6th gears, and the addition of a handlebar-mounted USB Type-C outlet make longer journeys even more enjoyable. As before, an upright riding position, manageable power delivery, and surefooted handling offer the versatility for daily riding, while superb wind protection, Electronic Cruise Control and a seamlessly integrated accessory pannier system add to comfortable weekend escapes.

Supersport-Style Chassis Components

Offering both control and comfort, the Ninja 1100SX’s relaxed riding position was designed to accommodate everything from city riding to touring to sport riding. This blend of comfort and control allows the rider to enjoy a variety of riding situations.

Upgraded Sport Riding Enjoyment

The Ninja 1100SX takes sport riding enjoyment to the next level, with a larger-displacement engine and improved KQS. Sporty handling, supersport-style chassis components and dynamic Ninja styling from its predecessor are maintained, with the superbly balanced engine-chassis package contributing to street-riding excitement in a wide range of situations.

Brembo Front Brake System

Dual Brembo front brake discs stopped by Brembo M4.32 calipers are complemented by a Brembo master cylinder and steel-braided brake lines to deliver excellent stopping power and precise braking performance.

Longer 5th and 6th Gears

With longer 5th and 6th gears, riders can cruise at a lower rpm on the expressway, which adds to touring comfort and improves fuel economy.

Lower Vibration

Weights added in the handlebars themselves are complemented by heavier bar ends to keep vibration while riding to a minimum.

Öhlins Rear Suspension

An Öhlins S46 shock absorber at the rear provides a plush feel and ample adjustability to tailor the setup to the rider’s preferences.

Clean-Mount Pannier System

The mounting system for the accessory panniers allows the panniers to be attached and removed very simply, contributing to increased convenience. Seamlessly integrating the panniers with the rear of the bike, the clean-mount system positions the panniers close to the bike centerline, its clean clutter-free design ensuring the rear of the bike still looks good with the panniers removed.

Composed Sporty Handling

The Ninja 1100SX’s highly rigid aluminium frame offers a high degree of mass centralization, offering a balance of agility and firm handling. The bike responds quickly to rider input, while offering an excellent ability to soak up bumps and ruts. Highly composed, the Ninja 1100SX’s superb straight-line stability and its planted feeling in corners make it easy to spend long hours in the saddle.

Electronic Cruise Control

Kawasaki’s cruise control system allows a desired speed to be maintained with the simple press of a button. Once activated, the rider does not have to constantly apply the throttle. This reduces stress on the right hand when traveling long distances, enabling relaxed cruising and contributing to a high level of riding comfort.

Heated Grips

Grip heaters keep riders’ hands warm when the weather gets cool, adding comfort on rides both in town and on longdistance tours. They fully enclose the grips, ensuring excellent warmth.

Dynamic Ninja Styling

Styling that highlights the Ninja 1100SX’s Ninja family image and sport riding potential features streamlined looking fairings and a single-sided muffler.

1,099 cm3 In-Line Four: Better Low-Mid Range

Based on the Ninja 1000SX’s proven and well-liked engine, the Ninja 1100SX’s engine displaces 1,099 cm3 and delivers 11.5 kgƒ·m of torque. The liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-Line Four engine now pulls even more strongly in the low-to-mid rpm range— which riders will notice immediately and use often— while the high rpm performance remains robust to deliver all-around improved engine power feel and response.

Handlebar-Mounted USB-C Outlet

A USB Type-C socket is now mounted on the left handlebar, offering riders a convenient power source.

Improved Kawasaki Quick Shifter

The dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) is now even easier and more fun to use, offering smoother shifting when accelerating and decelerating. It now functions from a lower minimum rpm, facilitating slower-speed gear shifts, and improving ride feel when riding at a more relaxed pace.

Rider Support Technology: IMU-Enhanced Electronics

The Ninja 1100SX features a host of rider support technology dedicated to helping riders enjoy their machine’s sport riding performance to the fullest.
