With no less than four litre class sport tourers from Kawasaki available in Kawasaki dealers for 2026 – plus a range of Edition models and genuine accessory items – the Ninja H2 SX and Ninja 1100 SX machine machines are set to go the distance in the coming sales season.

Much has been written about the Ninja H2 SX with its continent shrinking 147.1 kW {200 PS} 998cc engine complete with an in-house designed and manufactured integrated balanced supercharger. Of course, riding is believing and the rider tech is certainly impressive  with dedicated features like Auto Hi-Beam and the ARAS front and rear radar system providing real world benefits. Adaptive cruise control also features plus blind spot detection. Integrated into the 6.5” colour TFT instrumentation is Kawasaki's SPIN Infotainment system.

For the Ninja H2 SX SE, the suspension changes to KECS, a semi-active electronic suspension system adapting to road and riding conditions in real time while integrated software incorporates Skyhook technology delivering a more composed ride. SE braking is next level with Brembo Stylema Monobloc calipers providing ultimate stopping power.

In terms of colour options the H2 SX will be offered in Metallic Brilliant Golden Black/Metallic Diablo Black with the SE model also available in this colour treatment plus Metallic Carbon Gray/Metallic Diablo Black.

Moving to the sibling machine in the sports touring litre class stable, the recently launched Ninja 1100SX represents an update to the already legendary Ninja 1000SX. Extra engine capacity and other subtle changes unlock a greater flexibility and real world rideability. Created to deliver high performance, advanced technology for sports riding and all-day touring, the Ninja 1100SX and its SE partner set a new standard for sport touring performance. Add no less than three Edition models covering Tourer, Performance and Performance Tourer specification and a suite of options unfolds.

With a dual-direction quick-shifter, longer 5th and 6th gears, and the addition of a handlebar-mounted USB Type-C outlet, the Ninja 1100SX also boasts a four position windscreen and improved fuel economy while – under the skin – an IMU monitors a variety of parameters and assists an array of real world riding situations.

The SE model is fitted with Brembo M4.32 calipers complemented by a Brembo master cylinder and steel-braided brake lines. An Öhlins S46 shock absorber is fitted to the rear of the machine which – like the standard model – features Electronic Cruise Control and a seamlessly integrated accessory pannier system adding comfort and convenience to weekend escapes. The new colour options for the Ninja 1100SX in 2026 are Metallic Brilliant Golden Black/Metallic Carbon Gray for standard and Metallic Deep Blue/Metallic Diablo Black plus Emerald Blazed Green/Metallic Diablo Black for the SE model.
