In 2026, Kawasaki will launch the new Z1100 naked bike in Australia, powered by a 1099cc inline-four derived from the Ninja 1100SX. With 100 kW (134 hp) peak power and 113 Nm of peak torque tuned for low-to-mid-range response, it fills the gap above the Z900. Electronics are well-equipped too, including 6-axis IMU-based control.

The Kawasaki Z1100 is joining Australia's lineup in 2026. A 1099cc inline-four derived from the Ninja 1100SX, 100kW (134hp) peak, 113Nm of torque. Tuning the character toward low-mid range strength rather than peak power is irresistible. An honest big naked filling the gap above the Z900, just reading the spec sheet makes me grin.

Packing in a 6-axis IMU means the competition in this class needs to seriously brace themselves.

'Filling the gap above the Z900'—that phrasing really nails the sense of plugging a hole in the lineup.

Putting the Ninja 1100SX-derived engine into a naked bike just sounds fun.

Launching in Australia first probably means it'll be a while before it reaches Japan.

Oceania-first launches are pretty common, so I guess we just have to wait it out.

134hp and 113Nm—on paper alone, that's clearly a class above the Z900.

It says it's tuned for low-to-mid range, so I'd guess it's dialed in for city riding.
