KAWASAKINinja ZX-10R 2011 - 2012

　　In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, a sports motorcycle identical to its 2011 sibling, which featured the same major upgrades in the visual and mechanical departments.

　　One of the most notable updates was the Sports Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) system that was implemented as a standard feature, but also other features such as the Kawasaki Intelligent Braking System (KIBS), adjustable footpegs, lighter three-spoke wheels, an LCD dashboard panel, and Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) front suspension.

　　For power, the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R featured the same engine as the 2011 model, with stronger camshafts, crankshaft, and pistons that increased durability, larger intake valves, and an Electronically Controlled Unit (ECU) that came in a lighter package.

　　The 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R had its heartbeat set by a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 13,000 rpm and 114 Nm (84 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,500 rpm.

　　For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm Big Piston Fork with a rebound, compression, and spring preload adjustability on the front and a horizontal-mounted Back-link shock absorber with a rebound, compression, and spring preload on the rear.

　　As for braking purposes, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R packed two 310 mm petal discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm petal disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
