India Kawasaki Motors has launched the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 with new colour combinations in the country.

2018 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 press shot black — Apart from the new colour, the bike is the same as the 2017 Ninja 1000.

The sporty tourer now gets a new shade of emerald blazed green / metallic carbon grey and metallic spark black/metallic carbon grey. Apart from the colour, there are no changes on the technical and design front. Commenting on the new colour offer, Yutaka Yamashita, Managing Director of India Kawasaki Motors, said:

Ninja 1000 ABS is doing exceptionally well in the global premium sports-tourer market. And when we say global market, India also becomes a part of it. That’s why Ninja 1000 is our SKD model in the new IKM factory of India. Every product and its variant has a specific product life cycle. I anticipate that our Ninja 1000 ABS with redefined colour combination will attract new customers.
