The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Real 2026 update reworked the engine from 1043cc to 1099cc and retuned gearing for genuinely better long-distance touring
  • Improved quickshifter now works at genuinely lower RPMs than the outgoing Ninja 1000SX it replaces

Worth knowing

  • Real ownership costs (service, parts) run meaningfully higher than mainstream Indian brands
  • Shares its core engine and chassis with the Versys 1100, so buyers should genuinely compare riding position before choosing
