The Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid, also called Ninja 7 HEV, is a street motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki in 2023. It was first presented at the 2022 EICMA show as a prototype and debuted in 2023 as the first road-approved motorcycle powered by a hybrid propulsion system.
Visually, the bike has an aggressive design and features such as an aggressive half fairing, a dual headlight system, a windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right-hand side, and five-spoke wheels.
It also packs top-end technologies like Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), e-Boost Function, Automated Manual Transmission, Button-Shift, Idling Stop Function, Walk Mode (with Reverse), Smartphone Connectivity, Zero Emission when using the electric motor, and ABS.
For suspension, the bike utilizes a 41 mm Telescopic fork on the front with 120 mm wheel travel and a Uni-Trak gas-charged shock absorber with spring-preload adjustability and 114 mm wheel travel.
Braking-wise, the bike's wheels are assisted by a 300 mm brake rotor clamped by a two-piston caliper on the front and a 250 mm brake disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping performance.
As for the power figures, the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid had its soul brought to life by a 451cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered 69 hp at 10,500 rpm and 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) torque at 2,800 rpm.
The 2024 model is available in Metallic Bright Silver with Metallic Matte Lime Green and Ebony at an MSRP of $12,500.
