The ninja 1100sx with an exception, leads all the strong points of its predecessor.
Ever since it returned in 2011, the erstwhile Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX has been one of the best round sports touring packages. Rapid forward to 2025, and while the breed is sad that all is extinct, Kawasaki is connected to its guns and brought out the new ninja 1100sx.
Changes for Kawasaki Ninja 1100sx 2025
Most changes are largely under the skin familiar
Kawasaki has chosen only to focus on updating the internal, and the main change comes as this new 1,099cc four-cylinder motor, which was given birth by excluding the 1,043cc powerplant previous by the additional 3 mm. However, since this engine complies with Euro 5+ criteria, the peak output figures are slightly different.
Save for new paint and graphics, the ninja 1100sx is the same as the old 1000.
With 136 pony on tap, 1100 is 6HP below compared to 1000, although available with torque of 113Nm, it has 2Nm higher. And since it is a sensible sports touror and not Headbanging Supersport, Kawasaki wisely gave this mill a prolonged 5th and 6th gear ratio. However, to ensure that the acceleration is not humble, the final drive gearing is slightly smaller, courtesy of one-day-big rear sprackle.
The TFT display is crisp and the UI is straight.
Other changes include a better, butter-somuth bidirectional quickshifter (which actually works above waste!), 10 mm-big rear disc brakes (which should be used because this bike will be riding with accessories and/or a pillion), and a USB-C charger near the left-arm switch cube.
The housing of the port could be executed in a nortex, smooth manner.
Kawasaki Ninja Perform 1100sx Performance, Ride Relaxation
It is both supremely comfortable and stunning
As is clear from these pictures, the ninja 1100sx is the same as the visually 1000, secretly save for black paint job and green graphics. This is the only color you can buy, because green paint is currently exclusive to the high SE version, which is not sold here.
Generously padded seats keep you costed.
All the above changes are not very harsh, and the effect they have on the ride experience is not even a landmark. But who is complaining about that? The ninja 1000sx was to start with a smooth, comfortable and polish sport tourler, and it extends all its strong points (for one, which we will address later).
It can be both sharp and surprisingly melodious when needed.
More than 750-year-old kilometers I looked at the ninja, never once I missed the six pons that were abandoned for Euro 5+ (unlike those pesky speck-sheets Warriors). There is no other way to say – 136hp is very powerful. And since the midrange has been extended to 3,000–7,000rpm zone, you can argue that it is a more comfortable bike than before. On that topic, you will understand the throttle better about yourself before opening because the ninja will surprisingly calm you to the horizon with unquestionably calm. All at all times, the motor was pulling out a smooth inline-four scream, but whatever I enjoyed was that every time I used to rotate the accelerator, the intake was the event.
Kawasaki Ninja 1100sx Handling
Given the right input, this 238 kg bike can handle very well
And even in the city, Ninja 1100 is fully composed, and you can easily work because you can travel from Mumbai to Manali. The only problem within the city boundary is that the mirrors cling to a little bit, and even 5’11 for me, it is not possible to reach them in my natural ride position. The available 135 mm clearance is on the lower side, but you can do if you take some care.
Wide-set mirrors take care when filtering.
But can this ninja slice properly through a corner? 238 kg is a lot, let’s not make a bone about it, but once you customize your riding style in the ninja hate, you will be able to go fast as your friend who is without any gurgical pain on the ZX-10R (on the road, at least).
So, is this a superbike going on the right road for India? In a word, yes. It is tantalizali fast, fabully comfortable and luxurious.
Kawasaki Ninja 1100sx Price and Decision
It has a skillful machine, but it was no longer VFM big bike.
The only warning is that, for Rs 13.49 lakhs, Big Ninja is no longer a VFM big-bike motion that was once. Not long ago, the price of BS4 ZX6R and 1000SX was almost equal. Today, the price difference between BS6 ZX6R and 1100SX is about 2 lakh rupees!
Generously padded seats keep you costed.
The fact is that it is still a luxurious sweet and competent machine (and the only one of its kind), so if your pocket is allowed, I would advise you to travel to your nearest Kawasaki showroom. I know that I could.
