After two months of teasing, the team at Kawasaki have finally decided to take the wraps of the final version of their latest Ninja racebike, at the Nurburgring circuit, in Germany. The all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R racer was unveiled in advance of the full launch of the production machine in early October at the Intermot show.
The new Ninja ZX-10R race bike has been eagerly anticipated by everyone involved in the Superbike racing project for a while now and therefore the Kawasaki Superbike Racing Team are extremely keen to get started with the new Ninja ZX-10R. The bike will make its racing debut in the 2011 WSB Championship.
“The new race bike has been eagerly anticipated by everyone involved in the Superbike racing project for a while now. The PBM team have evolved and restructured continuously in order to be in a position to utilise the new bike's potential to the maximum next season. As you can imagine the Paul Bird team are ultra keen to get started with it and so who better than the team itself to help us show the first edition of the race version of it here at the Nurburgring?” Steve Guttridge, the Race Planning Manager from Kawasaki Motors Europe, stated for the press.
Sporting Kawasaki’s specific Green body paint, the racer has already been extensively tested at the Suzuka race track by riders Hidemichi Takahashi and Akira Yanagawa. The bike has also been ridden Paul Bird Motorsport Kawasaki’s Tom Sykes, who has found it to be more responsive and better handling than the existing machine. Technical details, however, are yet to be revealed by the Japanese manufacturer.
