Former F1 star Emerson Fittipaldi (who actually started by racing motorcycles) owns two Kawasaki dealerships in Brazil, and displayed this Kawasaki ZX-10R special edition at the Salão Duas Rodas in 2011.

This limited edition Kawasaki Fittipaldi World Edition that sports an awesome black and gold paint job with custom accessories was created by the F1 driver and his team, and is totally inspired by the Lotus 72 John Player Special, the car that he won his first F1 world championship title (11 races) forty years ago.

Only 50 units of this special edition will be prepared. One will be auctioned and Fitzipaldi has decided to keep one for himself, that leaves just 48 numbered Ninjas that will be autographed by the Brazilian driver, and will no doubt become a collectors item for the rest of the world.
