The 2020 Ninja 1000SX is a refined sport-tourer for experienced riders, with a 1043 cc four, ride-by-wire throttle and Bosch IMU electronics. It gained a colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity, electronic cruise control, a quickshifter and integrated riding modes. The bodywork, seat, windscreen and exhaust were all revised, and LED lighting and new Bridgestone tyres were fitted.
