Kawasaki confirms what is: its hypersportive motorcycle ZX-10R will indeed evolve in depth for 2016. However, the changes made to the probable future world Superbike champion will perhaps be less radical than imagined…

No, the 2016 ZX-10R will not be a clone of the H2R !

Assured as "imminent" by the Greens, the unveiling of the new vintage of ZX-10R will highlight a "host of updates inspired by the work carried out by the Kawasaki Racing Team", assures the manufacturer, currently on the way to winning the title in with Jonathan Rea.

Whispered in the paddocks of during the summer, the arrival of this new ZX-10R comes after four years without changes in the hypersport of the Greens, the first Japanese motorcycle to demonstrate traction control and to claim.

It is also likely that the weight already contained (201 kg with ABS) will be slightly lowered on this 2016 Ninja ZX-10R described by its designers as "the most powerful and competitive ever produced: a machine just as comfortable on a circuit. that on the road ".

This 2016 novelty will be revealed "next October" in Barcelona (Spain) "alongside the Kawasaki Racing Team", warn the Greens. To be continued on MNC: stay connected !
