Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Racer, presented the 2011 model year at the Nürburgring

Kawasaki has officially presented the new version of the Ninja ZX-10R. This presentation was particularly awaited by the Japanese company's Superbike racing team, which will now be able to start studying its benefits. «This new race bike has been awaited by many of those involved in Superbike racing – said Steve Guttridge, manager of Kawasaki's European branch – The PBM team has continuously developed and renovated the bike to be able to exploit its maximum potential in next season. As you can imagine, Paul Bird's team worked very hard on this project, so who better than the team itself could have helped us present the new bike here at the Nürburgring?"

«We started the development of this bike already with slick tires and with the engine in racing configuration – added Ichiro Yoda, project director – This is a substantial difference compared to previous models.» Now all that remains is to wait for the official launch, scheduled for the Cologne Motor Show in October.
