The 2011 Ninja 1000 was a fully faired sport-touring sibling of the Z1000 streetfighter, sharing its 1,043 cc inline-four and aluminum backbone chassis. Kawasaki added bodywork, an adjustable windscreen, a larger fuel tank, passenger grab handles and touring-oriented seats. The bike was positioned for sport riding, touring and commuting, with optional accessories for longer trips.
