Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2009

Ninja fans have no choice but to buy the new 10. It is lighter, stronger, easier to handle and yet easier to ride than any other ZX-10R to date. Even compared to the other Japanese bikes, the Kawa presents itself as superior. Besides the European bikes, emotions, preferences for certain colours and shapes certainly come into play.

Extremely precise traction control

efficient braking system

integrated electronics

positive ABS system

high engine power.

Suboptimal transmission - tight gearshifts.

Precise, powerful and fast! The Triumph is a lot of fun on Alpine passes. However, you can only forgive the tight chassis if you are a sporty rider. But you have to love the engine. No matter whether you're strolling or heating up - the power is always available in a well-dosed manner.

Incredibly universal - easy to drive in city traffic but also super fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Top quickshifter

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling.

Load change reactions at low speeds

slightly too low steering angle

narrow knee angle for tall people

stubborn mobile phone connectivity

squeaky brakes

traction control too defensive even in track mode

vibrations on the handlebars

suspension does not respond sensitively enough - basic set-up too tight.
