With the Ninja ZX-10R, the Greens offer a mature overall package that still looks as aggressive as you would expect from a Kawa superbike. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle, but the high footrests make it clear that it is designed to perform on the race track. The revviness of the engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the partial load range. To make the project a success, Kawasaki relies on high-quality ingredients: Showa suspension, Öhlins steering dampers, Brembo brakes with 330 discs and high-quality electronics. The Ninja ZX-10R even cuts a fine figure on the country road thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine - as long as you are able to suffer a little when it comes to the seating position.
