JAKARTA - Kawasaki is rumored to be launching a larger capacity version of this winter's 1000 SX Ninja touring sport motorcycle and is likely to be exhibited at the EICMA exhibition which will take place from 7 November.

Launching Visordown, September 18, the initial news about this came from an approval document from Austria revealing that the new version of 1100cc was in preparation.

The new bike is expected to be ready for the 2025 driving season, meaning more details on the model will be announced this winter.

The new machine recorded in the document as the Ninja 1100 SX SE, is expected to be similar to the current Ninja SX. Changes to next year's model are fully focused solely on the motor engine.

Meanwhile, German media, Motorrad, also reported the document and even managed to get some spy photos from this new machine and looks exactly the same as the existing model.

Motorrad said that the sport touring motor currently uses a four-cylindrical engine with a line of 1,043cc in the aluminum frame. The maximum power currently is 142 hp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm torque at 8,000 rpm.

As for the Ninja 1100 SX, this bike is likely to get a larger engine than the Versys 1100 which has also just been homologated. However, with a larger power. At Versys 1100, the augmented 1.099cc engine generated 135 cellphones, an increase of 15 cellphones compared to the previous 1000 Versys (120 cellphones). So, if you apply the same increase to the current Ninja 1000 SX, then the corresponding power is 157 hp for Ninja 1100 SX.

It is possible that the SE part of the new motorcycle name could indicate a semi-active suspension after the Versys 1000 SE and H2 SX SE, both of which use the KECS (Kawasaki Electronic Controlled Suspension) developed by Showa.
