Concealed Blade

The NiNja has beeN an iconic name in the world of motorcycles. This is one baby Ninja model that has returned to our market in its 2023 avatar and is now being sold as a completely built-up (CbU) unit. With

styling inspired by Kawasaki’s flagship ZX-10R and h2 models, this one, too, is mean, green, and a menacing machine to look at from just about any angle. it follows the classic silhouette that the Ninja models have had for so long and the design is exactly similar to the previous-generation model that we tested about four years ago. This review unit sports the Lime Green Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) colour and graphic scheme while there is also a Metallic Carbon Grey that customers may opt for.

There are no real updates in terms of ride modes, electronic aids, phone connectivity, and all of the additions that we see on modern sports bikes in this segment. so, why is this said to be one of the best motorcycles in its segment?

However, it quickly became apparent that despite only mildly updating the Multi's familiar looks, beneath the bodywork lies a vast number of updates that Ducati hope will make the bestselling Multi (and best-selling Ducati globally) even more versatile than before
