Just a few weeks after confirming the future launch of a new Kawasaki Z1100, now we can tell you what its main technical characteristics will be in terms of dimensions and benefits. On the other hand, very similar to those offered by her range sister, Ninja 1100sx, something that was predictable taking into account the current brand policy with respect to a common platform for several models.
In any case, collecting a little the information we had so far, we must remember that according to the offices of the American carb “ZR1100HT”. This confirmed us that the new Maxi-Naked of the Akashi firm was on its way, something that we have now ratified by knowing the latest information from the Netherlands Registry offices.
Kawasaki Z1100 2026: The Japanese streetfighter we were waiting for
The latest leaks in relation to the expected Z1100 2026 continue to flow from the homologation offices of different parts of the world. On this occasion we talk about what is responsible for certification of the model in the Netherlands. Thanks to Motorcycle’s companions we have known some of the most relevant aspects that will wrap the new Japanese maxinake.
To begin, it is confirmed that it will equip the four-cylinder and 1,099 CC propeller already seen in the recent Kawasaki Versys 1100 and Ninja 1100 SX, also declaring the same power range specified for the Sport-Touring model of the house. This translates into 136 hp at 9,000 rpm And therefore it is expected that the final maximum torque is also equal, some 113 nm approximately. In terms of maximum speed, the Z1100 2026 is catapulting up to the 247 km/hsomething less than her fairing sister.
Regarding the maximum weight this for the scale in the 221 kilogramsWe assume that with the tank full, for the 235 of the 1100 SX in the same conditions. What does share with this is the wheelbase, 1,440 mmalthough the Z1100 is somewhat shorter, specifically 46 mm, declaring a maximum figure of 2,054 mm. However, the new Naked model is somewhat wider, in its most bulky part, with 825 mm As a final collection.
Finally we have the height data, 1,085 mm, somewhat less than in the ninja. In this case we must take into account the adjustable windshield that the latter equips, with the ability to raise this figure to 1,224 mm in its highest position. As for the cycle, electronic or equipment part, we still do not know the final details that will compose the New Z1100 2026.
It is expected that they are equal or very similar to those of the 1100SX, including a BI tubular aluminum chassis, 41 mm inverted fork and a posterior damping in a horizontal position, or a braking equipment composed of triple disc and 4 -piston monobloc tweezers and radial mounting on the front.
All this will be discovered over the next few weeks, even the exact moment in which Kawasaki plans to present in society to his new high performance Naked mount.
