presentation of the ZX-10R 1000 Performance 2017
The ZX-10R promises to be more formidable than ever. Powerful enough to rip out your molars, as efficient as you want it to be, exciting to ride and boasting an edifying track record, the Ninja fears no one. The Ninja is available in several versions: standard and almost timid, superb and replica in the KRT edition, eager to compete in its RR Winter Test livery, and even sportier in the Performance version we discover here.
from the Ninja 650 to the ZX-10R, all Kawasaki Performance models are distinguished by their Akrapovic exhaust system. Here, a little more power, almost a kilo less weight, and a much more hawkish sound than the original muffler. If you're going to get your adrenalin from the half-guidons of this missile, you might as well enjoy it as a selfie, as the matching seat cover invites you to do. A set of gel protectors for the fuel tank will save paint from scratches.
Thus adorned, the ZX-10R Performance is ready to turn the clock back with even greater charisma. 200 heavy hitters on a reinforced electronic infusion, an even more accomplished chassis, and an unmistakable tool for the confirmed tracker. Too bad the racing kit isn't part of the package.
