Sport-touring riders wanting everyday versatility and performance

"A seriously capable all-rounder that rewards patient used buyers."

$9,500-$13,500 used

The Ninja 1100SX is Kawasaki doing what they do best — building a motorcycle that's genuinely good at everything without being spectacular at anything specific. That 1,043cc inline-four pulls hard from basically idle, the electronics package is legitimately useful rather than just checkbox marketing, and those semi-active suspension units on the SE variant transform the riding experience on patchy tarmac. It's a proper all-rounder that won't embarrass you on a canyon run or kill your back on a 400-mile day. Buying used, check the chain and sprockets obsessively — owners who commute hard often neglect them. The quickshifter can feel notchy on early examples, and some riders report the heated grip controls becoming flaky after a few winters. Screen buffeting around 80mph is a real complaint; it's fixable with aftermarket options but annoying at the price point. Tyre wear can be savage if previous owners used sport mode exclusively. Overall it's a genuinely accomplished machine that depreciates sensibly. Good examples are out there, just do your homework.
