This bike is awesome. Of course I haven't yet to ride on one but the appearance already caught my attention. The sitting positing is like getting on the Suzuki GSX-R1000 K7, but the handles feel likes a Kawi. It feels and is much lighter that the previous version. Kawasaki uses lighter materials like magnesium case covers, lighter camshafts, lighter starter and some more stuff to shave up few more kilos on this bike. As claim by Kawi, it's almost 10kg lighter than it's predecessor.
Exhaust goes back to the right side. I like this setup more than the under seat exhaust. And Kawi takes advantages of using less material due to the shortcut.
Rear hugger as equip as standard. A little bit paint would make this hugger look more awesome.
Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 as standard OEM fit.
Rear brake reservoir been located near the engine.
Same Ohlins damper on the ZX-10R fitted to the bike.
Showa's new BPF (Big Oiston Fork) 41mm fork. It features large diameter internal piston. Same system found on the new GSX-R1000 K9. Rebound and compression damping adjuster located on the top end. So you can adjust them easily while you're riding. Yeah! Hehehe... The preload adjuster are located on the bottom.
New meter design. No battery fitted to the bike yet. So no no turn on for me. This one idle at 3,000rpm without starting the engine. Haha.
Pojie's eying on this side mirror for his ZX-10R. Looks cool. And it's very light.
ZX-10R gen. Doesn't have enough fierce looking face like his bigger brother, but still looks good enough for me.
Swingarm looks more solid than the previous year. But I think it's just as good as the ZX-10R. I mean, really like the '08/09 ZX-10R
Lovely in black.
Rear end. Different tail light than the other 09 Kawi sports bike, but looks almost the same.
Immobilizer as standard starts from the 08 model. You get the key when you pay for the bike.
Side air collector for the 599cc turbine jet.
Wanna some piece of me?
Revised RAM air intake.
Lawanya 250 ni...!!
Color options of lime green, metallic diablo black as shown, and candy surf blue.
2 years warranty. Cheers to Kawasaki Malaysia awesome job on parts and warranty. Don't worry about thrashing this bike on the track.
New triple clam. Light saving as on the CBRs.
Again, ain't that weird looking as the ZX-10R.
Footpegs.
Easy access H9 & H11 bulb. A great advantages if something goes wrong to the bulb during the night. Then again, these superbikes are damn realible machine.
Same old ergonomic design button and switches. Did it has a pass light? I didn't notice.
Bottom-Link Uni-Trak® with gas-charged shock, top-out spring and pillow ball upper mount, dual-range (high/low-speed) stepless compression damping, 25-way adjustable rebound damping, fully-adjustable spring preload / 5.2 in.
300mm petal rotors disc. Dual piston and dual pad on each side.
Making way for the ground clearance. My my... this bike are well design to be lean.
Clean undertail when you remove the mudguard & tail.
