The Ninja ZX-10R is very different from its successful predecessor. Only the main goal is the same: To set the fastest lap times!

Road rider or circuit racer, when it comes to hard-core machines, everyone knows that the Ninja ZX-10R is the ultimate supersport bike. But that's only because they haven't seen what Kawasaki engineers have in store for them.

The ZX-10R was designed to be the No.1 performer on the circuit. The chassis was reconfigured to reduce lap times, the engine output is still phenomenal and aerodynamic performance is improved. This is a serious track-oriented bike developed for supersport riders looking for high excitement in a litre-class bike and a dominating track-day tool. Riders seriously considering competition will find the 10R to be an excellent racing platform.

More Power, Better Power.
Riders who have experienced the 10R's awesome engine performance at full throttle will find it hard to believe, but our men in the white coats have found ways to unleash even more power from the 10R's engine. A thorough package of upgrades to reduce mechanical loss and improve combustion efficiency results in more power across the rev range (enough, in fact, to comfortably meet Euro-III emissions regulations while maintaining the awesome output of the '05 model), with smoother, more linear delivery.

Superior Cornering Performance.
Cornering performance has also been improved, as has rear wheel traction. The chassis runs with revised geometry, more centralised mass, a relocated swingarm pivot, revised stiffness balance, re-tuned suspension units and a host of other upgrades that most riders may not even notice until they check their lap times. And as befits its more focussed track orientation, the new 10R comes fitted with a race-quality steering damper as standard.

Improved Aerodynamics.
What would a new engine and chassis be without new bodywork to show it off? Yep, the 10R gets an all-new aerodynamics package that lets it rip through the air like a jet on afterburner. Even from a distance, no one will mistake this two-wheeled rocket ship for anything other than a Kawasaki.
