Kawasaki was pretty quiet at Milan: it had already launched its attention-grabbing new Ninja 7 hybrid mannequin, and the ZX-4RR and ZX-6R fashions had been additionally already out. We did get a brand new Z7 bare model of the brand new hybrid bike, which seems rather less chunky than the Ninja, and makes use of precisely the identical crafty petrol/battery powertrain we examined this month.
The opposite new fashions had been a pair of uprated A2 bikes – the sporty Ninja 500 and bare Z500 roadster, which take over from the 400 fashions. There’s extra grunt from the 451cc engine that places out 45bhp, and a basic improve of the gear and electronics: LCD sprint, TFT on the SE model, new Ninja bodywork, and Bluetooth connection.
