The "Ninja" ZX-10R puts Kawasaki at the front of sportbike design and performance. Capable of exceeding 100 mph (160 km/h) in first gear, from the overall shape to the smallest detail, the ZX-10R combines high technology with the latest innovations, including a new, high-output engine, ultra-narrow aluminum frame, ergonomic design and compact bodywork with a frontal area smaller than those of most 600 cc sportbikes. | The "Ninja" ZX-10R puts Kawasaki at the front of sportbike design and performance.
