Kawasaki ZX-10R 1000 2006

Menus

The blade had not become dull, however, that Kawasaki recut its edges so that they are even sharper. Symbol of an excess in the category and a sign of the return to the foreground of Kawa among the big sports, the ZX-10R operates its first mutation.
Elegant, refined, softer, the hypersport of the Greens is above all the servant of performance. The search for efficiency and the laws of aerodynamics have changed its face. His big threatening eyes have given way to a viper’s gaze encrusted in his amphibian facies. Largely inspired by the ZX-6RR 2005, its new fork crown accommodates a revised forced air intake and new apparently lenticular optics, all topped by a new 6R-type bubble. More fluid from the front, the rear has however become heavier by the presence of pots under the saddle. The 10R comes in turn to erase any aerodynamic resistance. The large exhaust gives way to 2 elements installed under the passenger seat (what …?). The titanium line is configured as 4-by-2-by-1-by-2. The rear indicators are integrated into the rear flanks, there is little more than the mirrors and the footrests that protrude on the Ninja 1000.

A new swingarm reinforced from the bottom (like the R1), a radial brake master cylinder, an Ohlins steering damper, a revised engine positioning, an alternator and a starter that goes behind the cylinders … The engineers didn’t just redesign the machine; they also set out to make it even more rigorous. It must be said that the engine manufacturers were also working on the subject: new injectors, anti-friction treatment of the cylinders, revised mapping; the power remains the same – with the new exhausts meeting Euro 3 standards, better distributed and more usable.

Even seen like this, that doesn’t stop the ZX-10R from being a crazy machine to handle with skill. To check his heartbeats, the new instrument panel offers more visibility with a judicious return to a needle tachometer, where the red zone starts at 13,000 rpm. A big boost for more efficiency and even more passion.

KAWASAKI 1000 ZX-10R2 seconds – A boulevard when you chase the clock! A correction that the ZX-10R 2006 has just inflicted on its predecessor on the Autopolis circuit (that of Kawasaki in Japan). You are already telling yourself that the Kawa mill must be on fire even more. Not wrong, but not fair. It is still the big high voltage boiler, except that the character to change. The technical staff of Kawa specifies “a more progressive arrival of the horses, the behavior at the exit of the turn taking advantage of the more linear power curve of the new engine and its stronger breath at mid-speed”. It’s always easier to hit the clock on a track when you control the arrival of power; not when it is she who overflows you.

The ZX-10R did well in therapy; from virulent and fiery, it becomes more serene, even more efficient, still as powerful, with watts in all directions. A super big 8 ready to fill you up, and at your whim – It’s no longer the one who has it, it’s the pilot. The new 2006 ZX-10R has no choice: it must become more docile to best express its potential on the track. In doing so, she loses her wicked character and a little of her image to join the clan of girlfriends, GSX-R 1000 and R1 in the lead. Fans of big Kawa machines may pout a little; the trackers will be even more satisfied.
