KAWASAKINinja 1000 ABS 2013 - 2014

　　In 2014, Kawasaki launched the Ninja 1000 ABS, a motorcycle that came with a slightly upgraded version of the 1,043cc engine with even more power and torque, but also with other new or redesigned features than the previous model.

　　One feature was the Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) that came with an "off" setting for the more experienced riders and two available modes that gave the rider the choice of using 70 percent engine power or 100 percent power that released the full potential of the one-liter machine.

　　As a first for this model, the manufacturer provided the optional Kawasaki Quick Release (KQR) 29-liter hard saddlebag, which made the bike even greater for longer hauls.

　　The bike featured a supersport-style full-fairing bodywork that offered decent wind and weather protection, a front fender that provided excellent aerodynamics with a racy design, a slim rear fender, and a three-way manually adjustable windscreen that offered optimum wind protection.

　　As for power, the 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ABS had its heartbeat set by a 1,043cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured minor upgrades, which delivered an output power of 138 hp with a peak at 9,600 rpm and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,800 rpm.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm adjustable inverted fork on the front and a back-link adjustable horizontal shock absorber on the rear.

　　The braking performance was achieved by two 300 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
