Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 2025

Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 2025

The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 2025 impresses with improvements in all the right places: The more practical engine, the revised traction control and the modified gear ratio make the Ninja fit for the future. The high-quality features of the SE version, such as Brembo brakes with steel flex lines and the S46 shock at the rear from Öhlins, take the model to a new level. Minor weaknesses such as the high fuel consumption and low payload diminish the overall impression somewhat. Yet the Ninja 1100SX SE remains an excellent sporting motorcycle for riders looking for comfort and dynamics in equal measure.

The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.

superior engine

excellent shift assistant including blipper

balanced handling

bold design

driving-friendly seating position

good price

Electronics package not very comprehensive

no 6-axis IMU, no cornering ABS
