DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - Liquid-cooled inline-four offers true open-class power from idle to redline, making it easy to harness for experts and novices alike

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x 56.0mm offer an ideal balance of peak power and low and mid-range flexibility

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - 38mm Keihin throttle bodies cram the air/fuel mixture directly into combustion chambers via downdraft intakes for maximum power

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim, and a slim midsection allows an ideal bike/rider interface for maximum comfort and control

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - Engine’s rev limiter comes into play “softly,” providing usable overrev character since power doesn’t drop off suddenly at high rpm

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - The engine’s relatively low crankshaft position allows a moderately long stroke without adding engine height

DOHC, 16-valve, 1,043cc Engine - A secondary engine balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration and contributes to rider comfort

Cool Air System - Intake system routes cool air to the airbox via ducts in the fairing, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air

Cool Air System - Duct positioning – close to the rider – allows the intake howl to be heard and enjoyed

Cool Air System - Airbox resonator reduces noise at low rpm and enhances intake sound at higher revs

Exhaust System - The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout. Silencer end-caps maintain the quad-style image

Exhaust System - Main and pre-catalyzers ensure cleaner emissions

Exhaust System - Thanks to the under-engine pre-chamber, silencer volume is reduced, and silencer weight is low. Exhaust system offers excellent mass centralization and contributes to a low center of gravity

Slim-type Fuel Pump - Slim-type fuel pump features an integral fuel gauge

Slim-type Fuel Pump - Fuel tank design and slim-type fuel pump minimizes dead volume inside the tank; fuel capacity is 4.0 gallons

Bodywork - Supersport-style full-fairing bodywork gives the Ninja 1000 a distinctive, head-turning look, and also offers plenty of wind and weather protection for short-tour ability

Bodywork - The fairing’s slat-style leading edges direct wind around the bike, allowing the fairing to be narrower at the middle

Bodywork - The fairing flares at the rear, keeping hot engine air from hitting the rider’s legs

Bodywork - Original design front turn signals are integrated into the fairing and are attached to the inside of the fairing with rubber mounts that minimize damage if the bike falls over

Bodywork - ZX-6R-spec front fender contributes to excellent aerodynamics and racy looks

Bodywork - Slim and compact tail cowl moves mass physically and visually toward the front of the bike

Bodywork - LED taillight features red LED bulbs and a red transparent lens

Bodywork - Slim rear fender gives the bike a light-looking rear end

Bodywork - Windscreen is manually adjustable for optimum wind/weather protection

Bodywork - Windscreen has three available positions spanning approximately 20 degrees and ranging from sporty to maximum wind protection. Adjustment can be done by hand (no tools required) by depressing the release button below the instrument panel. Windscreen adjustment should always be done with the bike stopped

Aluminum Backbone Frame - Aluminum backbone frame is similar in concept to the Ninja ZX-10R’s, and helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the knees for maximum rider comfort and feedback

Aluminum Backbone Frame - The frame is lightweight and highly rigid, and uses the engine as a stressed member for solid handling and optimum stability

Aluminum Backbone Frame - Frame elements are tuned to transmit optimal engine feedback to the rider

Aluminum Backbone Frame - The frame’s five-piece construction consists of steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces. The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections

Aluminum Backbone Frame - Welds were eliminated wherever possible for simplicity and appearance; the frame beams and swingarm brackets are single die-cast pieces

Aluminum Backbone Frame - The new frame uses four engine mounts, three of which are rigid, one of which (the upper rear crankcase mount) is rubber

Aluminum Backbone Frame - Rear subframe is a three-piece aluminum die-casting assembly that’s light, strong and optimizes mass centralization

Aluminum Backbone Frame - The sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, negating the need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the ground

Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension - All-new rear suspension design positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm where it’s less exposed to exhaust heat and contributes to mass centralization

Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension - Visible from the outside, the horizontal monoshock contributes to the Ninja 1000’s ultra-sporty appearance

Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension - Linkage characteristics are the same as those of a standard Uni-Trak® system: Wheel movement versus shock stroke is the same ratio

Horizontal Back-Link Rear Suspension - The shock features stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability for a custom-tuned ride

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - The Ninja 1000’s inverted fork is adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload – and is protected from harm by a cool-looking shroud

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - Settings are designed for both sporty performance and ride quality

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - Separate, raised handlebars contribute to the sporty, comfortable riding position; bar stays are mounted to the fork tube tops, which extend above the top clamp

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - A thick urethane seat provides a high level of rider and passenger comfort

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - Tapered-type grips, like those used on supersport models, offer a more direct feel

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - Ninja ZX-10R-style footpegs with knurled surfaces offer good grip, direct feel and control, and no-nonsense looks

Fully Adjustable 41mm Fork - The passenger footpeg brackets incorporate convenient luggage hooks

Brakes - 300mm front petal-type brake discs are gripped by opposed four-piston radial-mount calipers. (Caliper piston size is 4x30 mm)

Brakes - A radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb control and feel offered by these high-end caliper

Brakes - The rear brake is a single piston, pin-slide caliper gripping a 250mm petal-type disc. The caliper is mounted below the swingarm, and located by a torque rod

Large-Volume Fuel Tank - Five-gallon (19L) fuel tank offers substantial range

Large-Volume Fuel Tank - Steel construction facilitates use of magnetic tank bag

Large-Volume Fuel Tank - Tank shape (flared edges and a trim shape at the back) allows riders to easily grip tank with their knees

Instrumentation - Sporty instrument panel features a large analog tachometer and multi-function LCD screen. It’s a design based on the ZX-6R’s unit, but which features original graphics and coloring

Instrumentation - Functions include speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, odometer, clock, dual trip meters and warning lamps

Instrumentation - Hazard switch located on left bar pod
