NINJA ZX-10R REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

For the 2008 Ninja ZX-10R, Kawasaki engineers wanted a highly communicative package that would enhance the two-way dialog between rider and machine that professional racers require to ride at the highest level. That meant the chassis had to deliver a high level of feedback while being highly responsive to rider input – and all this in stock form. A tall order. But, having worked on every litre- and mid-class supersport model since the 2003 Ninja ZX-6R/6RR, not to mention their direct involvement with Kawasaki's factory superbike efforts, one the dedicated design and engineering team were in a unique position to deliver.
