Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2008

Kawasaki did not surprise. They did exactly what Kawasaki fans expected from the engineers. The Ninja is the most powerful 1000.

Very high performance

higher speeds possible

snappier brake

good handling

fitting design.

Relatively high total weight

partly nervous chassis.

But as in life, you can't demonise the "approximate 3/4 litre" concept of the FZ-8 by quickly leafing through the data sheets. That would be a shame, because the 8 has given us a lot of pleasure in the 3,200 kilometres we have covered so far. Contrary to the facts, the 800 is probably the best choice for the average ambitious rider.

Stable and stable

chassis relatively universal

large variety of accessories

acceptable performance

Footrest detent insert sets too early and brings unsteadiness into the chassis - as well as scraping on the ground

ugly exhaust

a bit cumbersome
