on the technical and design front.
The 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 is available in the
country at an ex-showroom Delhi price of INR 9.98 lakhs. The Ninja 1000 employs
a 1,043cc in-line four DOHC engine with liquid cooling. The powerplant

electronic features include 3-mode Kawasaki Traction Control; Full and Low

For suspension, the motorcycle uses adjustable 41 mm
inverted front fork, and adjustable gas-charged rear monoshock. The bike comes
to a halt using dual 300 mm front discs and a single 250 mm rear disc, both
with ABS. The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 locks horns with the recently launched Ducati
SuperSport, and the Suzuki GSX-S1000F.
