Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R 2010

Aggressive new styling of the upper, side and center fairings and cockpit inner covers enhances aerodynamic efficiency and appearance. Refinements to the shift ratchet assembly, shifting arm, return spring and collar result in reduced friction and less movement at the shift shaft pivot, for improved shifting feel and more positive gear changes. A new, embossed metallic gray coating on the muffler complements the new bodywork. A new, 18-position Ohlins steering damper uses additional spring and oil pistons for improved action; titanium color and a laser-etched logo enhance the bike’s appearance. Slightly longer throttle cables inside a plastic throttle housing provide improved throttle action for even greater control.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R offers tremendous horsepower, but delivers it with refined controllability through a highly evolved aluminum frame rolling on top-shelf components developed on the track and refined for the street.
