2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000, 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 - Ideal Performance from an Open-Class Sportbike They’ve been a staple of the sporting motorcycle world for decades: sportbikes that blend top-shelf engine and handling performance with a high degree of comfort, practicality and devastating good looks. Kawasaki has built plenty over the years, from the original Ninja 900R of the 1980s, to the ZX-11 of the ’90s, and the ZZR1200 of the 00s – standout performers that are also easy to live with, day in and day out. This Ninja is all original, has a possible tip over on both sides that will be difficult to see in photos, and is ready for the next owner.
