CHAMPIONSHIP DRIVEN


No other supersport can claim the Superbike World Championship like the Ninja ZX-10R can. The Ninja ZX-10R propelled Kawasaki rider, Tom Sykes, to overall championship podium finishes every year since 2012—securing a championship title in 2013—and delivered the championship title once again for 2015, this time with Jonathan Rea aboard.
With the Ninja ZX-10R, development starts at the track. This is why only pure riding essentials make the cut. Down to the finest details, everything that goes into the Ninja ZX-10R has the sole purpose of making it the fastest bike on the track. And as a direct recipient of what the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) learns, the Ninja ZX-10R is equipped with championship-proven technology that makes it fully capable of dominating the streets too.

Kawasaki Racing’s winter testing livery, though trades bare carbon fiber for matte black paint. Along with an Akrapovic exhaust, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R “Winter Test Edition” features a snowflake on the front of the bike, along with the Japanese kanji character “fuyu” which means “winter”.

“For some years we have been asked if there will be a special ‘Winter Edition’ of the Ninja ZX-10R,” said Shigemi Tanaka of Kawasaki Motors Europe.

“Now seemed the perfect time with such success for Jonathan Rea and the racing team in the World Championship plus the launch of a brand new Ninja ZX-10R for 2016 that is the result of a joint development between KRT and the Kawasaki factory in Akashi.”
