Radial-Mount Front Brake Calipers
Compared to many supersport machines, the Ninja 1000 features a taller handlebar for a more upright riding position and enhanced comfort.
Choose from three different windscreen positions to provide optimal wind protection in different conditions. Hand adjustment is quick and easy.
Thick urethane seats mount on vibration dampers for added comfort. Narrow seat subframe makes it easier to reach the ground.
Dramatic instrumentation is patterned after the Ninja ZX-6R motorcycle, and features a big analog tachometer and a multifunction LCD screen.
Superbike-type radial-mount 4-piston front brake calipers team up with a radial-pump master cylinder for superb stopping power and feel.
