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.

Those who already liked the 2022 model will love the 2025 version.
