Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R supersport continues to set the bar high in the pinnacle of road racing around the globe with unmatched success on the racetrack, including carrying Kawasaki to seven FIM Superbike World Championships (WorldSBK) since 2013. The Ninja ZX-10R has a 998cc in-line four-cylinder, 16-valve engine that balances power with manageability and is paired with the latest and most advanced electronics such as Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF), Bosch IMU, Sport-Kawasaki TRaction Control (S-KTRC), Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM), Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS), Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper and Power Modes.
An aluminum twin-spar frame, Showa Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) and horizontal back-link rear suspension with a Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) shock have been developed with technology straight from Kawasaki’s World Superbike factory racers and contribute to the cornering performance and light handling of the Ninja ZX-10R. The high-grade thin film transistor (TFT) color instrumentation with smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP and electronic cruise control further add to the high-grade appearance and convenience. The next-generation bodywork and styling with integrated winglets were designed with aerodynamic performance in mind and offer improved drag resistance and an increase in downforce, while its recently introduced air-cooled oil cooler increases cooling and boosts engine performance.
The 2025 Ninja ZX-10R comes in a Metallic Flat Spark Black/Ebony colorway and is available in both non-ABS and ABS. The non-ABS model has a MSRP of $17,799 with MSRP on the ABS $18,799. The Ninja ZX-10R KRT Edition features exclusive Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) graphics in a Lime Green/Ebony/Pearl Blizzard White colorway and is available in both non-ABS and ABS. The MSRP for these KRT Edition models is $17,799 for non-ABS and $18,799 for ABS.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR ABS
Based off the high-performance Ninja ZX-10R platform, the Ninja ZX-10RR ABS is built for those who rise to the challenge and shares many of the same great features, including a 998cc in-line four-cylinder 16-valve engine, light-handling aluminum twin-spar frame, air-cooled oil cooler, aerodynamic styling with integrated winglets, aerodynamic riding position, numbered serial plate and advanced electronics. The impressive list of technology features includes KCMF, Bosch IMU, S-KTRC, ABS, KLCM, KIBS, Kawasaki Engine Brake Control, KQS, Öhlins Electronic Steering Damper, Power Modes, Integrated Riding Modes, Electronic Cruise Control, TFT Color Instrumentation and Smartphone Connectivity.
In addition to the many engine, suspension and chassis components shared with the Ninja ZX-10R motorcycle, the Ninja ZX-10RR ABS features several special high-performance features that were developed through Kawasaki’s racing efforts in WorldSBK. This includes enhanced engine components that deliver tremendous racing potential, such as camshafts designed specifically for the Ninja ZX-10RR ABS, and intake and exhaust valve springs that match the higher performance. Lightweight titanium connecting rods manufactured by Pankl, a company specializing in developing and manufacturing engine and drivetrain components for high-performance race cars and the aerospace industry, are one of the key performance features found on the Ninja ZX-10RR ABS. Lighter weight pistons lower the reciprocating weight, aiding in the high rev limit and contributing to smooth-climbing revs. One less piston ring is used compared to the Ninja ZX-10R, enabling a shorter piston height, and helping to prevent mechanical loss due to friction. Piston pins match the pistons and feature a DLC coating that protects against wear. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires are fitted to forged Marchesini wheels that were designed to specifically meet the needs of the powerful engine.
The 2025 Ninja ZX-10RR ABS comes in a Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray colorway, with an MSRP of $30,499.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R “636” remains a staple in the Ninja ZX supersport lineup and pushes the boundaries with track-ready performance that prioritizes confident handling during high-performance sport riding. The Ninja ZX-6R offers superior performance across the rev range with its potent 636cc liquid-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine and Assist and Slipper Clutch. It also boasts an eye-catching list of technology features that includes KQS, Kawasaki TRaction Control (KTRC) with three performance settings, KIBS, Power Modes, 4.3-inch TFT color instrumentation, Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP and Integrated Riding Modes.
Nimble handling is achieved on the Ninja ZX-6R thanks to its race-derived chassis that allows the rider to become one with the machine whether on the racetrack, navigating canyon roads or cruising city streets. A Showa Separate Function Fork – Big Piston (SFF-BP) and fully adjustable Showa rear shock offer a high level of performance for the racetrack and the plush feeling desired when riding in town. Dual 310-millimeter front discs ensure excellent stopping power, while Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires offer excellent grip in a variety of riding conditions. The styling is inspired by the Ninja ZX-10R, yet retains its own distinct supersport identity. Its smooth, flowing styling was designed to turn heads and capture hearts. Compact LED headlights, an intricately layered front cowl, and a sporty windshield bring a face to one of the most feared models in Kawasaki’s supersport lineup.
The 2025 Ninja ZX-6R is available in two colorways, Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Graphite Gray and Metallic Matte Dark Gray/Ebony.
