In my opinion, a bike like this without affordable factory sorted accessories is half baked. Thankfully, Kawasaki agree and offer colour coded Givi luggage specially designed for the Z1000, rounding out the package. The rear sub-frame of the Ninja 1000 was designed with luggage in mind and is much more robust than that seen on its nakedbike sibling. A $699 set of pannier brackets are required to fit the $660 panniers and the tubular brackets will prove an eyesore when the panniers are not mounted. This does reduce the amenity of the design somewhat; an integrated mounting solution that works with the machine’s styling when not mounted would have been a much smarter approach.
At $16,999 plus on road costs Kawasaki’s Ninja 1000 is not a budget sports-tourer in the vein of the capable Suzuki GSX1250FA and the like. Instead the Kawasaki straddles an affordable line between the bargain bikes and the much larger sports-tourers, like their own ZX-14.
The Ninja 1000 is another good option in the marketplace and well worth throwing a leg over at your local Kawasaki dealer if you are in the market for a sports-touring motorcycle or a semi-naked bike with an added does of real world practicality.
It's more fun that most of the bikes in this style of motorcycle, not as epically laugh out loud in your helmet entertaining as KTM's brilliant 990 SMT, but certainly a lot more larrikin than most. I reckon it’s a bit of a winner.
