Description[]
Kawasaki's R&D concept for the Ninja ZX-10R was simple and straightforward: to build a bike with the best racing performance in the world. That meant being the best at the three basics: flat-out speed, cornering agility, and reliable stopping. And the ZX-10R was designed to achieve all of those performance goals.
The engine was designed for the fastest possible speed by incorporating the right balance of various cutting-edge technologies. The 12.7-to-1 compression ratio was achieved partly by hand-polishing the intake ports, something unthinkable in a production bike. Designers eschewed the usual exhaust system to save weight and added a back-torque limiter to the clutch.
The slim bike is designed for a tight, low riding position for better control. The engine is designed and placed to help lower the bike's centre of gravity. Because of the low centre of gravity, the ZX-10R has excellent stability despite a wheelbase of only 55.3 inches.
This well-thought-out design makes for an excellent ride. Torque is fat even in the low and middle ranges and rises smoothly and linearly with engine speed. Acceleration at peak torque is powerful. What's more, the low centre of gravity gives a rider the confidence to open up the throttle. The low, short frame keeps the machine zooming along smoothly even at high speeds, for unbelievable handling. This, plus solid braking power and good braking stability, let the rider plough into a corner and turn in late for a fast exit.
Although the ZX-10R is fairly easy to handle considering its astounding power and manoeuvrability, only a fairly skilled rider will be able to make full use of this advanced performance.
