Kawasaki has so many memorable models, and the Ninja series is a timeless classic.
Ninja, a special class of the Edo period.
Nowadays, it seems that they only exist in film and television works, they secretly plot for the monarch, sabotage, assassination, intelligence gathering, etc., and live themselves as a shadow, with special skills but incognito, with darkness, taking the enemy to the top level invisible.
Kawasaki has so many memorable models, but the Ninja series is a timeless classic. Named after "ninja", it is not difficult to read Kawasaki's special positioning for this series. Engineers' imagination and leading-edge technology give the Ninja Series the performance of maneuverability and a fun-riding experience.
In 1984, the first locomotive with the name "Ninja" appeared in Kawasaki's product array, codenamed GPZ900R shocked the world as soon as it was launched, its amazing top speed and quarter-mile speed increase time were all new world records at the time, side cams, diamond-shaped frames, and unique full fairing designs were different from the mainstream models sold at the time.
The configuration of the water-cooled four-cylinder, double overhead camshaft and 16-valve engine made it easy to stand at the top of the locomotive food chain of the year, and also won the "Model of the Year" award that year.
Six years later, in order to increase engine power, the Ninja ZX-11 model was fitted with an air intake duct in the fairing, forcing air to be directed directly into the intake tract.
This device similar to today's "turbocharging" greatly increased the power of the ZX-11, and for the first time, the 320km/h scale appeared on the speedometer, and once again attacked the locomotive market at that time with strong mechanical quality.
Time to 2004, the track driving model ninja ZX-10R came out, as a well-deserved "supercar" in the motorcycle industry, ZX-10R and its 998CC engine at 13000rpm can output a terrifying 197 horsepower, even more than many family cars, amazing push ratio and excellent handling so that ZX-10R quickly captured the hearts of many motorcycle fans. It also became one of the rare "sacred cars" of that year.
A year later, the revised Ninja ZX-6R and Ninja ZX-6RR once again pushed this class of locomotives to the peak. With a more powerful engine, complemented by improved aerodynamics and streamlined bodywork and the exhaust pipe design under the seats, it seems that every round of Ninja's revamps can please dedicated motorcycle fans.
The ZX-6R uses a number of track-based models, such as sliding clutches, and the new upgrades make ninja worthy of the king of performance, both in everyday driving and track combat.
In 2013, the Ninja ZX-6R introduced a new replacement model with an engine displacement changed to 599cc to bring more torque.
The track's pedigree remains as it has always been, such as the SFF-BP fork that was first equipped on a production car, and the use of a 3-mode braking propulsion system (KTRC), an ultra-precision ABS system (KIBS) and other advanced electronic control technologies, which further complement the ZX-6R's driving experience on the track.
In addition, the "Little Ninja", which is loved around the world, has launched two different displacements. Among them, the Ninja 300 is equipped with a 296cc engine, which optimizes the power output, and is also equipped with a sliding clutch that belongs to the track.
The newly designed high-tensile steel tube frame and wide 140 rear tires guarantee excellent grip and stable handling. The Ninja 250, on the other hand, is powered by a 249cc engine and faces emerging markets in Asia.
Finally, there's the Kawasaki Ninja's H2, a powerful four-cylinder engine that allows it to break through a hundred in less than 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 293km/h. After the official parts have been modified and upgraded, it is said that the top speed can exceed 360km/h, which is beyond the reach of most supercars.
