Kawasaki India has announced a big price hike for its popular sport-touring motorcycle, the Ninja 1100SX. After the new GST 2.0 tax structure, the bike now costs Rs. 14.42 lakh (ex-showroom), which is almost Rs. 1 lakh more than the earlier price of Rs. 13.49 lakh.
This sharp rise makes the 1100SX one of the costliest models in its segment, but Kawasaki believes the bike’s strong engine and premium features still justify the price.
Design and Road Presence
The Ninja 1100SX continues to carry a sporty-yet-comfortable design. The bike gets sharp LED headlamps, a muscular fairing with aggressive cuts, and a touring-friendly stance.
It is not only built for speed but also for long-distance comfort, which is why it has become popular among riders who love both performance and practicality.
Engine and Performance
The 1100SX is powered by a 1,099cc, inline-four, liquid-cooled engine. It produces 136 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 113 Nm at 7,600 rpm, offering strong mid-range and high-speed performance.
The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and comes with an improved quick shifter that works smoothly even from 1,500 rpm. This makes gearshifts faster and more effortless, whether on highways or twisty roads.
Features and Equipment
Kawasaki has equipped the Ninja 1100SX with plenty of modern features, making it a true sport-tourer. Some highlights include:
- All-LED lighting setup
- TFT digital display with Bluetooth connectivity
- Multiple power modes
- Traction control system
- Dual-channel ABS
- Cruise control
- USB-C charging port
These features ensure that the bike is not just about raw power but also about convenience and safety.
Impact of the Price Hike
The GST 2.0 update has hit premium motorcycles hard, and the Ninja 1100SX is no exception. A hike of close to Rs. 1 lakh will make some buyers think twice, especially since rivals in the segment are priced slightly lower.
However, Kawasaki is positioning the 1100SX as a luxury sport-touring machine with a balance of performance, comfort, and advanced technology.
Conclusion
The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX remains one of the most attractive sport-touring motorcycles in India. While the new price of Rs. 14.42 lakh may feel steep after the GST 2.0 impact, the bike’s powerful engine, advanced features, and comfort still make it a complete package. For enthusiasts who want both speed and touring ability, the Ninja 1100SX continues to be a strong choice despite the price hike.
