Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx has a top speed of 240 km/h (estimated; manufacturer limited), produces 142 hp and weighs 235 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

Kawasaki Ninja 1000 был представлен в 2011 году как преемник Z1000SX и позиционирует себя как мотоцикл для спортивных путешествий, сочетающий в себе производительность и повседневное удобство использования. В 2017 году он подвергся значительным обновлениям, включая усовершенствованную электронику и эргономику, а в 2020 году был переименован в Ninja 1000SX с существенным обновлением, включающим новый TFT-дисплей, улучшенную ветрозащиту и обновленную антипробуксовочную систему KTRC. Благодаря универсальному сочетанию спортивной управляемости, комфорта на дальних дистанциях и мощного четырехрядного двигателя автомобиль Kawasaki остается одним из самых популярных спортивно-туристических автомобилей Kawasaki.

⚠️

Watch the Throttle Bodies

Some owners report rough idle and hesitation at low RPMs, often traced to throttle body sync issues or a dirty throttle body — a relatively inexpensive fix. Checking service history for this maintenance item is worthwhile before purchasing used.

Experienced riders wanting one versatile do-everything bike

"The sensible sport-tourer that never feels boring on Sunday."

$7,500-$11,500 used

The Ninja 1000SX is one of the most complete used sport-tourer packages you can find under ten grand. Kawasaki nailed the balance between genuine performance and everyday usability — that 1043cc inline-four pulls hard from 3,000rpm without drama, and the three riding modes actually make a tangible difference rather than just ticking a spec-sheet box. Cornering ABS and traction control on a used bike at this price point still feels like stealing. Buy 2020 or newer if you can stretch to it — that's when they added the quickshifter and revised suspension, which transformed it from good to genuinely great. Check the chain and sprockets hard, because owners who use it as a commuter often neglect them. The 28-litre tank is brilliant for distance riding, though the panniers are narrower than they look and won't swallow a full-face helmet. Shaft-drive riders beware — you will replace the chain more often than you'd like.
