Creating a superbike engine and chassis combination that is competent enough to delight professional racers, yet still possesses valuable streetbike qualities to satisfy mainstream riders is a delicate balancing act to say the least.

They gathered an extensive amount of superbike racing knowledge and distilled it into the latest Ninja ZX-10R, to create a machine that dominates, regardless of the locale.
