Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want strong performance without a hardcore sportbike riding position.
Purpose	Designed as a sport-tourer that blends fast, in-line four sportbike performance with a more upright, comfortable stance for longer rides.
Rider Fit	A moderately heavy machine at over 230 kg, it favors riders of average-to-taller height and reasonable strength for slow-speed maneuvering, though its low-ish seat height keeps it approachable.
Character	Punchy, high-revving in-line four engine paired with a sport-touring chassis gives it a versatile, confidence-inspiring personality on twisty roads and highways alike.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for off-road riding, complete beginners, or riders seeking a lightweight, minimalist commuter bike.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
