The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 - Traction Control and Cornering ABS

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is a seriously underrated motorcycle. Maybe the sharp and sleek new design of the 2017 edition can change that Kawasaki took the already capable 1043cc and updated it to the latest exhaust emission standards.

But in the process of making the engine run much cleaner, Kawasaki gave the motorcycles an IMU that controls both traction control and the cornering ABS. Kawasaki claims smoother power, a better ride quality from the new rear suspension, better shock and linkage, and a somewhat lower seat height.

Just like the Kawasaki Versys 1000, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000’s grab rails have slots for factory luggage. We expect the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 to go on sale pretty soon...
