Kawasaki Ninja 1000?

Wonder if this is a worthy bike for real sport touring?

Does it have electronically adjustable suspension or just "dumb/manual" adjustability?

[wildbears]

Just the latter.

Not a problem for me as I set the suspension and forget it now that the wife doesn't ride with me anymore.

One issue is that as with some other Japanese models, they recommend against using a top box and the side cases at the same time due to instability at high speeds.

The suspension wouldn't be a problem for me but I prefer the larger 14R. Doesn't have cruise control but I rode without it for over 50 years. How spoiled we have become.

I believe there was a review of that bike in Rider maybe three months ago. I also thought it check most, if not all, the sport touring boxes. Well worthy of consideration for that application.
