That was upto 2016. So all pre 2016 models didn't come with ABS as standard. However in 2017 Kawasaki updated all their models to have ABS in India while offering non ABS versions abroad. The Versys in 2016 was the first Kawasaki to be offered with ABS as standard.

Hence if you buy any 2017 manufactured Kawasaki in India it will definitely have ABS unless its an imported model.

I think the Ninja's didnt have ABS as standard until recently, correct me if I am wrong.

Versys 650 received ABS in 2017. Ninja 650 too received it in 2017.

Ninja 1000 had it earlier but I am not sure if it was on sale or if it did any sales for the old model

No no all Kawasaki bikes except the Ninja 300 which got it in 2018 had ABS as standard. So if you buy any used Ninja 650, Z650, Versys 650 which is a 2017 model and later it will have ABS as standard.

Bikes like the Z800 and Z1000 had ABS as standard in India since its launch in 2014.
