Making a Legend As they do for all the Ninjas, Kawasaki engineers drew heavily from the latest technology, knowhow from many years of developing supersport machines and even a few hints from the factorys Moto GP effort. The new Ninja ZX-10R is the latest expression of Kawasakis commitment to building the most exciting supersport bikes in the world. Riders who have experienced the 10Rs awesome engine performance at full whack will find it hard to believe, but our men in the white coats have found ways to unleash even more power from the 10Rs engine. A thorough package of upgrades to reduce mechanical loss and improve combustion efficiency results in more power across the rev range with smoother, more linear delivery. Cornering performance has also been uprated, as has rear wheel traction. The chassis runs a new frame with revised geometry, more centralized mass, a relocated swingarm pivot, revised stiffness balance, retuned suspension components and a host of other upgrades that most riders will appreciate especially when checking their lap times. And as befits its track orientation, the new 10R comes fitted with a race-quality steering damper as standard equipment. What would a new engine and chassis be without new bodywork to show it off? The all-new aerodynamics package lets it rip through the air like a jet on afterburner. Even from a distance, no one will mistake this two-wheeled rocketship for anything other than a Kawasaki.
