NINJA ZX-10R
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is the Japanese bike maker’s second big machine after the Ninja ZX-14R. Launched for the Indian market in its latest avatar in September 2013, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is powered by a 998cc inline-four liquid cooled engine that develops 200PS and is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox.
The new engine maintains the essential character of 2015, but offers a stronger low-mid range for increased acceleration coming out of corners.The engine is also more responsive, spinning up more quickly thanks to a crankshaft with a lower moment of inertia – something that benefits both acceleration and deceleration, as well as cornering performance.
