Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.

It may well be that the market for 1000cc superbikes is shrinking, and it may also be true that the current price structure reserves this motorbike category for a very elite class. But for those who value the greatest possible acceleration and the highest fun factor, the Suzi is a comparatively good value.

Pleasant, cosy engine

powerful transmission

sporty, comfortable seating

light-footed handling

well-tuned chassis.

Radically close-cut geometries

technically somewhat improvable.
