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. However, Kawasaki sportbike engineers arent your average slide rule gang. 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.
