Ninja Series: 400ZX-10RH2 SX - Entry-level to top-level models

Kawasaki's flagship cars are named "Ninja", ranging from entry-level models to top-of-the-line touring models.

The entry-level sports car Ninja 400 adopts a slipper clutch and a seat height of only 785 mm, which greatly improves the handling performance, making it easy for novices and petite riders to control. This year, the Ninja 500 with a displacement of 451 c.c. and stronger torque is launched.

The Ninja ZX series is a super sports car model that imitates racing. Among them, the Ninja ZX-10R, which is equipped with a 998 c.c. four-cylinder engine, takes aerodynamics into consideration in its exterior design. Its streamlined body helps to reduce wind resistance and increase downforce, while the windshield is raised to provide better wind protection.

The top-of-the-line supercharged H2 SX, in addition to being equipped with multiple driving modes and six-axis electronic control, also features an ARAS cruise control system that uses the body's radar sensor to issue forward collision warnings and provide blind spot detection and lane change assistance to avoid accidents.

In response to the recent electric car craze, Kawasaki has also launched the entry-level electric car Ninja e-1.

The wider seat cushion is slightly thickened in the center and on both sides with foam to increase riding comfort. The Z 650 is also equipped with a TFT dashboard, which can be connected to a mobile phone via an app to expand its uses, making it part of the dashboard and even being able to adjust the body settings.

Meguro K3 - Japanese air-cooled retro car

The Meguro K3 originated from Meguro, the Meguro factory that Kawasaki acquired in 1963, so there is a Meguro aluminum alloy three-dimensional logo on the cylinder. It is repackaged in the shape of the W 800, but the main color of the body is black and silver, and it uses a large number of electroplated trims, matched with 170 mm diameter LED headlights, adding a retro feel. In addition, the 925 mm handlebars, which are wider than the W 800, also provide a unique sense of control.

The Vulcan S is equipped with an ERGO-FIT system with interchangeable handlebar heights, allowing owners to flexibly adjust it according to their body shape. The 2,310 mm vehicle length, 1,575 mm long wheelbase and 705 mm seat height allow for a more natural foot placement. The power comes from a 649 c.c. water-cooled two-cylinder engine derived from the Ninja series, which provides 61 ps horsepower and 62.7 Nm torque.

Eliminator 500SE - Street-style lightweight cruiser

The Eliminator 500SE has a steel frame and 130/70/18 thick tires, giving it an American street car look. Compared to the Vulcan S, which is also a US tourer, the Eliminator 500SE is lighter and has a shorter and narrower body, making daily maneuvering and parking relatively easier. The 6-speed gearbox is equipped with a slipper clutch, which helps to reduce the rear wheel hopping caused by engine braking and the uneven speed engagement when shifting, making the motorcycle easy and stable to operate.
