The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX is a sport-touring motorcycle powered by a new 1,099 cc inline-four. In the U.S., Kawasaki lists the Ninja 1100SX ABS at $13,699 MSRP and the better-equipped 1100SX SE ABS at $15,399 MSRP, before destination, dealer charges and taxes. Both trims share the same published engine-output figures; the SE adds Brembo front calipers, an Öhlins rear shock and grip heaters.

1. What kind of motorcycle is the Ninja 1100SX?

Kawasaki identifies the Ninja 1100SX as a sport tourer: a sport-oriented motorcycle with equipment and features aimed at longer rides. For 2025, its engine is a 1,099 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve inline-four. Kawasaki’s U.S. 2025 model page describes specifications and pricing as subject to change.

2. What does the 2025 Ninja 1100SX cost?

Kawasaki’s listed U.S. MSRP is $13,699 for the Ninja 1100SX ABS and $15,399 for the 1100SX SE ABS. The SE’s listed MSRP is $1,700 higher. Kawasaki also lists an $815 destination charge on its product page, but says the dealer sets the actual destination charge, which may vary. These figures are not out-the-door prices; ask a dealer for the full price including applicable charges and taxes.

3. What does the SE add?

The SE’s principal listed hardware changes are its Brembo M4.32 front brake calipers, Öhlins S46 rear shock and grip heaters. The standard ABS trim uses Kawasaki radial-mount four-piston monobloc front calipers and a gas-charged horizontal back-link rear shock. The manufacturer specifications do not establish how much these differences change braking feel, ride comfort or handling for a particular rider.

4. What are the engine’s published power and torque figures?

Kawasaki lists 134.0 hp at 9,000 rpm and 83.2 lb-ft of torque at 7,600 rpm for both trims. Kawasaki specifies that its horsepower figure uses ISO 4106. Because horsepower measurements can use different standards, do not treat the 134 hp figure as a directly equivalent SAE figure without accounting for the measurement method.

5. What transmission and rider aids does it have?

Both models use a six-speed transmission with an Assist & Slipper Clutch. Kawasaki’s launch information also describes optimized gear ratios and a refined quick shifter, but the available specifications do not establish a particular fuel-economy or road-speed effect.

Motul 7100 4T 10W-40 Full Synthetic Motorcycle Oil - Ester Technology - API SP JASO MA2 Wet Clutch Safe - Engine and Gearbox Protection for Street Sport Adventure 1L
  • Smoother, More Confident Gear Shifts Wet Clutch Performance: Engineered for noticeably smoother gear shifts in every 4-stroke motorcycle with a wet clutch, this 100% synthetic ester motorcycle oil delivers the precise friction characteristics certified under JASO MA2 (T903:2023) to maintain responsive, confident power transfer from engine to wheel across the full RPM range in street, sport, and adventure applications
  • Engine and Gearbox Protection with Ester Technology: Reinforced with Ester technology that forms a tenacious molecular bond with metal surfaces, this 10w40 motor oil creates a robust protective film that resists shear and thermal breakdown under sustained high-RPM operation, protecting critical engine bearings, piston rings, and integrated transmission components while maintaining optimal viscosity stability across the full operating temperature range of high-performance motorcycle engines
  • Full Compatibility with Modern Emission-Controlled Engines: Certified to the latest API SP standard for modern emission-controlled motorcycle engines, this 10w40 synthetic motor oil features optimized phosphorus and sulfur content that protects catalytic converters and secondary air injection systems on Euro 5 and EPA-compliant bikes, with the thermal durability that high-performance 4-stroke engines require for sustained operation at track-level intensity
  • Versatile Off-Road and Street Application: Trusted across the full range of 4-stroke motorcycle applications where the manufacturer specifies 10W-40 viscosity, covering street motorcycles, off-road dirt bike oil applications, sport bikes, and adventure touring from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, BMW, KTM, and Ducati, with full miscibility alongside existing synthetic and mineral oils and no special flush procedure required when switching from another brand

6. What are the standard model’s suspension and dimensions?

The standard Ninja 1100SX ABS has a 41 mm inverted Showa fork with compression and rebound damping adjustment and preload adjustment. Its horizontal back-link rear shock has rebound damping and remotely adjustable preload. Kawasaki’s published standard-model dimensions and capacity are:

  • Seat height: 32.3 inches
  • Curb weight: 518.2 lb
  • Fuel capacity: 5.0 gallons
  • Wheelbase: 56.7 inches

Those measurements can help narrow a shortlist, but a seat-height figure alone cannot determine whether the motorcycle will fit a particular rider or feel comfortable on a long ride.

7. Is the SE lighter?

On Kawasaki’s specification sheets, the SE curb weight is 516.0 lb, compared with 518.2 lb for the standard ABS trim—a 2.2 lb difference. That is a published specification comparison, not evidence of a meaningful riding advantage. Kawasaki defines curb weight as including operating fluids, a fuel tank more than 90% full and the tool kit if supplied. California evaporative-emissions equipment can add about 2.2 lb when fitted.
