presentation of the Ninja 1000 ZX-10RR Performance 2018
With the rise in power and electronics of the competition, the ZX-10R could perhaps start to worry... Ah well, no. It doesn't seem to be any more worried than that. It has to be said that Kawa has produced one hell of a missile, still going strong after several years. Watch out, though, as the claws of the R1, RSV4-RR and S 1000 RR scratch it a little more...
The RR version lets the princesses explain themselves while it looks to the Superbike. Its prepared cylinder head, a few lightened parts and a more accomplished shifter make it more racing-oriented and eager to compete. What's more, Kawasaki decided to add the Performance package to its range.
a bonus that suits it well. As much for its name as for its greediness. Authoritative and almost indispensable: an Akrapovic carbon WSBK Replica exhaust system. Appreciated for its sound, praised for its efficiency. It shaves 900 grams off the weight and offers a spoonful of extra power.
But that's all. No racing bubble, adjustable footrests or stand. Some would have appreciated it, others know that there's already so much to do with this Ninja.
