The world’s first*1 strong hybrid*2 motorcycle offers riders a number of new riding experiences: a mid-size package with the instant acceleration of a 1,000cc-class supersport model from a standing start (with e-boost), fuel economy on par with the 250cc-class, and button-shift sport riding.
With three different drive modes each offering a distinct riding character and numerous innovative features for riders to explore, the Ninja 7 Hybrid truly changes the game, ushering in a new era in riding experience. *1 Mass production models (excluding scooters) from a major power sports manufacturer as of October 6, 2023, per Kawasaki Motors, Ltd. research. *2 Strong hybrid systems combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor for powerful riding, and because of their large battery capacity they are able to run on electricity alone.

Having three drive modes to choose from (SPORTHYBRID, ECO-HYBRID, and low-speed short-distance EV) offers the versatility to adapt to wide range of riding situations. Each mode’s riding character is distinct, giving riders a number of stimulating elements to explore.
In addition to increasing overall output to that of a 650cc-class machine, with e-boost activated the Ninja 7 Hybrid can initially out-accelerate a Ninja ZX-10R from a standing start under certain conditions.
From head to tail, all-LED lighting contributes to a modern appearance and sleek, futuristic styling.
With a compact traction motor mounted behind the cylinder bank of a 451 cm3 Parallel Twin internal combustion engine, the strong hybrid power unit is the first of its kind in a motorcycle. Working together, the ICE and traction motor complement each other to produce a rider-friendly character with strong low-mid torque. *Strong hybrid systems combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor for powerful riding, and because of their large battery capacity they are able to run on electricity alone. The Ninja 7 Hybrid’s EV Mode may be helpful for certain situations where quiet riding is appropriate, such as in residential areas or in parking garages. Speed and range are limited.
