In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, a motorcycle that featured more engineering advantages from the world-class racing team and came in a faster, stronger, and more race-focused package than the ZX-10R.

Some of the differences between the ZX-10RR and ZX-10R included the paint scheme, where the RR featured the Winter Edition livery inspired by the company's WSBK team with a snowflake on the rear cowl and windshield and the RR logo embedded into the cover of the engine and a new key with the RR badge.

The bike was powered by a similar 999cc engine, with 200 hp on the clock but with a few modifications to accommodate the high-lift cams, with DLC-coated tappets for reduced friction and stiffer valve springs.

Another difference included the seven-spoke Marchesini wheels that came in a lighter package for reduced weight and improved handling dressed in a set of super-sticky Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires that improved cornering grip, which allowed the bike to go faster around corners.

Also, the suspension setup was revised to suit the single-seater motorcycle and the Pirelli tires, but also Kawasaki claimed that the RR delivered smoother weight transfer and less pitch than the standard model, which gave the rider confidence to ride faster on the track.

The 2017 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR featured the same wind tunnel-developed bodywork as its 10R brother but with more race-focused touches, such as the RR designation throughout the bike and the rear seat, replaced by an aerodynamic seat cover.
