More sporty orientation for this 1000 SX which, for 2020, loses its “Z” and gains in the process a “Ninja” designation while meeting the new Euro5 standard…
More comfort and more sportiness, this fourth generation of Sport-Tourer is therefore halfway between two worlds, and according to Kawa, it gets the best out of them. Slight aesthetic facelift reflected in particular by a new front mudguard, a revised LED lighting signature, more comfortable saddles (wider, thicker and more ergonomic) or even a unique exhaust forgetting the double outlet on the previous version or even the adoption of Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22 tires.
Four driving modes directly influencing traction control (KTRC) now accompany the riding aids (KCMF* and KIBS** are still included) while Bluetooth technology integrated into the dashboard allows, via the Rideology app , display information about the motorcycle such as remaining range, distance traveled and maintenance due dates.

Settings such as date format and KTRC level can be adjusted via the Smartphone, while the TFT screen itself can also display, via an icon, whether a phone call or email has been received.
In addition, the screen brightness adapts its light intensity depending on the ambient lighting. Note that the Quickshifter Up & Down is standard in 2020.
What Kawasaki says: “Sport or Tourer, the Ninja 1000SX becomes more technological, more dynamic and more attractive to offer “The best of Both Worlds”. » »
