Getting the Ninja 1000 in 2018 was a big step up for us to change our (predominantly car-biased) way of touring, to exploring travel in a different light - on a not-so-practical, high-power sportbike. While I have been touring on bikes since 2008 with friends or solo, our erstwhile Karizma helped to set the ball rolling when it came to 2-up touring on bikes with my better half from 2015.
It just feels like yesterday that we were excitedly taking an Uber cab to the Kawasaki showroom to receive the delivery of a litre class sport tourer bike that we so fondly desired to add to our garage to enhance our travel experiences. Five years have flown by since the Ninja 1000 has been a part of our lives. BHPian KarthikK recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
