The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R will have a fully-faired design, featuring a sloping fuel tank, a stepped-up seat, split headlights, a raised windshield, and eye-catching paintwork. The bike will pack a TFT instrument console, an all-LED lighting setup, and will ride on alloy wheels. However, it will miss out on front winglets, commonly seen in liter-class motorcycles nowadays for improved downforce.

Power and performance
The Ninja ZX-10R will draw power from a Euro 5-compliant 998cc four-cylinder engine that will come mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. However, its power figures are unknown. For reference, in Euro 4 state-of-tune, the mill makes 207.2hp of power and 114.9Nm of peak torque.
