2024 Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid | Official Video

The world's first* strong hybrid* 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.

Automobile engineering are grow very fast. Well done Kawasaki.

[@kenobi666obi]

Meravigliosa bellissima stupenda come tutte le Kawasaki... e un passo avanti a tutti... Grandiiiiii!!!!! Kawa forever 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤

[@donniehowattzer2759]

Wish Kawasaki would call their hybrids the " Kawasaki Kusarigama" Series. Like the weapon itself is made of two weapons into one. It is made for quick attacks. Plus the name just sounds sooooo good.

[@ministerpillowes]

Excited to give it a spin!

[@nid274]

The reverse function should be there in motorcycles centuries ago...its almost impossible to reverse on heavy motorcycles on some nasty parking spaces like those we have here in India

[@jamesatwood4433]

big cruisers have reverse functions, and always have.

[@shaftdrive7567]

Absolutely. Parking takes some analysis and inspection.

[@dikopbun9571]

Can I use a racing exhaust on a hybrid ninja motorbike?

[@MarianRosch]

is it mild, or plug-in?

[@TheWhoopwhoop21]

The price tag just wont justify purchasing this bike so when this flops and sales are dismal, can you please focus on making real motorcycles again?

[@JK_Tirupur]

Woow Nice Technology .... 451 cc Have 25 kmpl + Hybrid , No clutch with paddle shifts , means No Gear lever on foot ... Reverse Creping function.... Nice when it will come to Market 🎉 ❤

[@davidcruz-mermy7158]

Sad that no infos comes on the price or delivery dates in Philippines, as I really wanted that one better than a standard 400 Ninja...

[@thomasmay8544]

Are there any plans to do this hybrid set up with the ninja 650 inline twin?

[@SDrizzy]

i see this bike as a trial run, we wont see any more hybrids for 2024 but if it does well this could become pretty standard for the next few years

[@Marclee37hk]

so this one is not possible to change the gear manually?

[@KyleClerico]

Can you plug it in? Or maybe just have the battery accessible to add a charger? Plug in hybrid or just hybrid?

[@Comirida1]

Read it cannot be plugged, that sucks

[@CheekiScrubb]

One of the joys (at least for me as an ex-KLX rider who now rides a Ninja) of riding a motorcycle is modulating the clutch and rowing the gears, otherwise why not just ride an matic or a scooter (i go to shop for groceries on a matic and it's not fun at all just convenient) ? My suggestion would be not to include electric motors in the drivetrain, but downsize the engine, put on a turbocharger, and use the motor to eliminate turbo lag. So it can have the efficiency of forced induction, eco-friendliness of a KERS, the hair tugging pull of a sportbike, and the green credits for the earth nerds. I don't know about in other countries but in mine, people who buy sportbikes already have another vehicle meaning they buy a Ninja for the fun of riding, it's a hobby not a necessity, they already have a grocery getter with a matic. So doing this might hurt the the market where i'm from considering the targetted demographic of sportbike buyers here are people who like the fun of riding and not as a beginner bike or as the main mode of transportation. Edit : I do hope only the best for my favourite Japanese motorcycle brand Kawasaki, but if this doesn't sell well then i suggest taking a different approach to market research on your target audience.

[@JacobMueller]

I thought the same until I rode a Honda DCT. All my cars have always been manual, and all my bikes until the Africa Twin with DCT. After riding it for bit and getting used to it it's spectacular. You still get a similar rush as shifting but you're just using buttons instead of pulling a clutch. It's not a CVT, so it's not like an automatic trans (although you can drive it like that). You should try it before you knock it. The whole point of this bike is to have liter bike power (under eboost) while also having the fuel efficiency of a 250cc bike. Adding a turbo (more fuel) and then using the electric motor for torque fill completely defeats the entire intention of this bike. Also this bike does all this while meeting Euro 6 regs. It's not just 'environmental nerds', it's about making bikes that are quick, fun, and meet the emissions and fuel regulations of a large market segment. Also, this is literally the first iteration of hybrid tech in a bike. There will for sure be sportier examples down the line. Appreciate the effort and tech, and what the future will hold with this new creation.

[@CheekiScrubb]

@@JacobMueller Point taken, and for the record, where i come from cheap small bikes are essentially akin to that of a DCT, because it uses a centrifugal auto clutch (so no manual clutch lever) and row the gears manually via foot pedal, as for the Matics as i have stated before, i do use them as a grocery getter so i am not knocking it before trying but rather speaking from experience. However in a sportsbike, i feel like removing the clutch lever simply detracts from the experience which is nothing more than a matter of personal taste, but as i said before, your argument about efficiency is -from a technical standpoint- valid (i would know being a former mechanical engineering bachelors and having worked at a tuning shop). I agree with what you said about the possibilities of sportier versions down the line considering this is simply Kawi testing the waters for the hybrid market, i was simply voicing my own opinion based on experience on the matter for the fellow petrolhead squids out there considering some bikers will have the same suggestions as i do

Curious to how operating it with manual transmission will work.

[@YBGuy]

I think it will use a DCT (Automatic) transmission.

[@hollydillion1315]

@@YBGuy I can see that by the paddles on the left handle. Looks a bit out of place for the fingers to trigger them but hopefully we'll see design improvements.

[@larryhouse3776]

Kawasaki please, is there any sign of a Updated ZX14R coming???

[@biowan]

Reste à savoir son prix, vu que Z125 EV coût plus chère que la Z650. Là, il annonce une performance équivalent à une 1000cc, je suppose que son prix ne serait pas sous la barre des 15'000€ ? Mais effectivement, c'est une véritable innovation. La batterie sous le siège avec un refroidissement par air, j'espère que ça ne chaufferait pas trop les postérieurs. "Reverse function", est-ce qu'il s'agit du recul ? ça serait cool. Impatient de voir les avis journalistiques aux essais.

[@nicknelson9450]

"est-ce qu'il s'agit du recul". Oui, tous les contrôleurs de moteur éléctriques EV ont cette fonction (puisqu'il s'agit juste d'inverser la polarité) donc il serait dommage de ne pas l'inclure ici...d'autant plus que la bécane sera plus lourde que les petits scooter éléctriques qui sont maintenant assez courant et sur lesquels la marche arrière reste un peu sans intérêt.

[@logansaloma572]

Y el sonido propia de las 1000cc nunca mas?

[@Skiamakhos]

Ok, I love this. If the performance measures up, it'll be a world beater. What are the stats? Weight, hp, etc?

[@Skiamakhos]

@HaydenMills seems that's a peak BHP with a 5 second "Sport Boost" that takes another 5 sec to recharge. Good for racing maybe?

[@fandeasanh3092]

No , what kawasaki only tells us is that this motorcycle can connect to a smart phone 😂

[@Skiamakhos]

@@fandeasanh3092 your Google-fu had failed you. Check again.

[@JacobMueller]

@@h-disconnected6612 There are test videos of it out dragging a liter bike from a stop through the 1/4 mile and winning. But it also gets the mpg of a 250cc bike. Don't let the stats fool you.

[@tamish3551]

@HaydenMills69hp BUTTTT it has the very broad power band and instant torque and brought by the electric motor in tandem with the top end of a 451cc engine. It performs much better than you would think.

[@daviS98765]

Missing the most impotent part, The Clutch. 😥

[@ajb1149]

@daviS98765 You do know what impotent means don't you?

[@JacobMueller]

It's probably DCT just like the Honda version. It has a clutch, you just use a button instead of pulling a lever and moving your foot. I rode the Africa Twin DCT for a few years and loved it. It shifts faster than you ever could, but can also allow you to just chill out, or concentrate on cornering. It's truly the best of both worlds.

[@hari_fyi]

Nice Kawasaki, so I'll choose Yamaha or Honda or Suzuki from now on

[@DersNoNem]

People have been complaining about the clutch but like QS & auto blipper... This is your time to shine though. Also why Ninja 7 but uses 451cc engine?

@@AQHackAQ i have, not great but an electric motor too could make it interesting, i did say it could be horrible too.

@@rocketfludy2873 It has a relatively small 9kw motor, so you'll probably only hear the engine when both is running.

[@jb5music]

That's true, It's a twin. I don't usually like the sound of twins

[@jb5music]

V4 not V twin. 200 not 450! 200 would be more than enough power with the hybrid motor. The sound of a 200 V4 might be weird though. Too much clutter and complexity. They couldn't do it for less than $15,000. And it would only be heavier than it straight ICE motor

[@arcticspace]

25 years after Toyota brought the Prius on the market, finally even in motorbikes there is some advancements in technology…. A motorbike must be much more economic than a car… The weight hurts a little bit. But otherwise, Well done!

[@darmah1959]

about the silliest ad I have ever seen

[@lucianoromero777]

This thing is probably heavy cause of the battery pack and extra charging applications

[@zBaihu0]

Tbh I heard this and had high hopes but ya lost me on clutch less. It’s not fun without a clutch imo

[@camgere]

Advantages. The same size gas tank will give you greater range. Trail braking becomes more rewarding. Mid-corner "maintenance" throttle becomes practically free. Disadvantages. Space and weight. I've owned a Prius hybrid for 11 years. The tiny (5% of a full EV) battery really increases mileage. Great bang for the buck. At 66,000 miles, I'm still on the original brake pads. I used to clean brake dust off my Mercedes E320 wheels, every two weeks. I don't even notice any dust on my Prius wheels.

[@cryptopsycho4838]

The next question now is the price.

[@drawyourpath8571]

Hopefully there will be a Naked or Adv version, a scramler like this engine or a smaller one like the verxy x300, klx 230sm with compact, practical, sturdy design, elegant aluminum swingarm , Seat height is about 800mm like honda cl500.and price around under $6000 .❤❤😂😂
