In 2007, Kawasaki launched the Ninja ZX-10R, a supersport bike that brought a new look to the Kawasaki liter-engine motorcycles, with a redesigned fairing and an edgy approach to racing fairings and revised ram-air intake duct with a straighter channel for better air-flow and reduced noise.

The 998cc engine received updated intake throttle ports, which brought the bike closer to the factory characteristics of the superbike race beasts, while the die-cast aluminum sub-frame kept the weight down and the bike's profile on the slim side for better aerodynamics.

The frame used a combination of pressed and cast aluminum components welded together, which formed the twin-spar backbone-type design and kept the weight to a minimum while still providing high strength and stability with responsive handling.

The 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R featured a lightweight, compact, and narrow engine that allowed excellent ground clearance and featured lightweight forged pistons that were stronger and more heat resistant than cast versions.

As for the power figures, the Ninja ZX-10R delivered an output power of 175 hp with a peak at 11,700 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,500 rpm. Attached to the engine was a six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 291 kph (181 mph).

For stopping purposes, the model packed two 300 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear.
