The all new 2013 Kawasaki ZX10r is one of the best liter bikes out there in the market. Its been redone and is a completely different type of beast compared to its predecessor. The looks of the 2013 liter bike are very different from the previous generation Ninja, and styling cues have been taken from Kawasaki’s erstwhile MotoGP effort. The angular streamlining, shorty exhaust and abbreviated tail section are all clearly taken straight from the race bike.For 2013, Kawasaki didn’t have to change much, and the ZX-10R returns as a carry-over model with a few upgrades, including an Öhlins-Kawasaki electronic steering damper.Immediate impressions are favorable, as the Ninja feels well balanced, and the riding position, although committed of course, is relatively comfortable. The large instrument pod is easy to read to the point where the large sweep rev counter/programmable shift light across the top in bright yellow is a little distracting.The four-cylinder engine displaces 998cc and is redlined at a heady 14,500 RPM. Clearly there are several good reasons that Colin Edwards’ MotoGP team (NGM Mobile Forward Racing) chooses to run the Kawasaki ZX-10R motor in its CRT entry this year. My immediate impression is how unusually smooth it is; very few vibes reach the rider. The prodigious power output — claimed to be well in excess of 200 horsepower — is delivered through a precise and easy-shifting six speed gearbox and slipper clutch.
The fueling is well mapped through 47 mm throttle bodies, and despite the enormous power the Ninja is very easy to ride; dual fuel injectors ensure on/off throttle transitions are smooth even if you’re a bit ham-fisted with the throttle. This is an amazing bike, its powerful fast and it feels like a 600cc sport bike. therefore, this sport bike enthusiast gives the new ZX10r a 5/5 stars.
