Context
Why does this story matter?
Kawasaki's Ninja range of motorcycles is known for bringing racetrack-inspired technology to the streets. The bikes provide a track-focused riding experience without compromising on comfort. Since its inception in 2004, the Ninja ZX-10R has borrowed styling cues and equipment from the Japanese marque's World Superbike Championship-winning model. The 2023 iteration remains largely unaltered from the previous generation model.
Design
The supersport flaunts a 17-liter fuel tank and LED headlight
The 2023 version of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is underpinned by a cast aluminium frame. The motorcycle flaunts a sculpted 17-liter fuel tank, twin-pod LED headlight, an upright windscreen, clip-on handlebar, an upswept exhaust, winglet-like elements, rider-only saddle, and a sleek LED taillamp. The superbike houses a 4.3-inch colored TFT instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and rides on 17-inch alloy wheels.
Information
It draws power from a 998cc, inline-four engine
The 2023 ZX-10R is backed by a 998cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline-four engine that is linked to a 6-speed gearbox, along with a bi-directional quickshifter. The mill develops a maximum power of 200hp and a peak torque of 114.9Nm.
