The irresistible call of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Updated comprehensively for 2021, the potent litre-class machine comes at an alluring price
There are motorcycles and then there are litre-class motorcycles. The latter, as one can imagine, leaves indelible memories. The sound of the intake howl reverberating in your ear as the brain struggles to keep up with the rapidly changing numbers on the speedo, is a rush unlike anything else — especially on something as potent, yet accessible as the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. It all begins with the way this motorcycle looks, most notably the new Kawasaki Racing Team colours and face. The large air intake duct in the centre is flanked by recessed LED headlights that give it a menacing look. The effect is also a result of the prominent chin spoilers below the headlights as well as the cleverly integrated ducts next to them. These ducts channel air into them and out through vents on the top of the side fairing. This helps improve high-speed downforce by 17% , although the road is no place to test that.More Related News
