The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is Kawasaki's follow-up to the ZX-9R sport bike. It was
originally released in 2004 with minor revisions in 2005, it combines ultra-narrow
chassis, low weight, radial brakes, and strong engine make it a very competitive
package for its Japanese rivals: Suzuki's GSX-R 1000, Honda's CBR1000RR
and Yamaha Motor Company's R1. In 2004 and 2005 the ZX-10R won Best Superbike from
Cycle World magazine and the prestigious international Masterbike competition.
It is known to be the most 'hard edged' or race oriented out of the Japanese
one-liter inline four cylinder motorcycles, with relatively quick steering and
a ferocious powerband.
A
complete overhaul to the ZX-10R in 2006
sees the most comprehensive round of changes since the bike was introduced.
The
2008 model has an MSRP of USD $11,549.
