Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX
2022
2022
The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX continues the legacy of Kawasaki's sport-touring prowess. This model offers a compelling package for riders seeking a balance of sporty handling and long-distance comfort. It competes directly with models like the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT, offering a similar focus on versatility and performance.
At the heart of the Ninja 1000 SX lies its potent 1043.0 ccm (63.64 cubic inches) in-line four, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a substantial 113.5 Nm (11.6 kgf-m or 83.7 ft.lbs) of torque at 7300 RPM, providing ample pulling power across a wide rev range. The 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons) fuel tank allows for decent range between fill-ups, essential for touring. The rider sits at a height determined by the 815 mm (32.1 inches) seat, which, while not adjustable on all models, offers a reasonable compromise between sporty feel and accessibility.
The Ninja 1000 SX provides a comfortable, yet engaging riding experience. The riding position isn't as aggressive as a track-focused sportbike, but still allows for spirited riding. Footpegs are placed for sporty riding, but not so rearset as to punish the rider on longer trips. Suspension is tuned to handle a variety of road surfaces, making it suitable for everything from smooth highways to more challenging backroads.
The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX is aimed at riders who want a motorcycle capable of tackling weekend canyon carving and longer tours. It appeals to those who appreciate sporty handling without the extreme ergonomics of a pure sportbike. With its blend of power, comfort, and features, the Ninja 1000 SX is a solid choice for riders seeking a versatile and capable machine.
