2009 Ninja ZX-10R

The ZX-10R features a highly communicative package, similar to that of Kawasaki's factory superbikes. Designed by Kawasaki engineers, and developed by their racers, the ZX-10R chassis delivers instant feedback while being highly responsive to rider input - and all this in stock form.
