TopSpeed - Kawasaki Ninja https://www.topspeed.com The name 'Ninja' has adorned many of Kawasaki's sport bikes since 1984. Long associated with speed and wearing lime green, Kawasaki Ninjas have earned a reputation in the racing world. Popular models include the powerhouse Ninja H2 and track-focused ZX-1R.

Your key requirements would be sexy looks, enjoyable but not too much horsepower, and modern components. Two motorcycles that fit this bill rather well are the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR (the only 400cc inline-four motorcycle on sale) and the Yamaha YZF-R7 (Team Blue’s latest entry in the much-contested mid-capacity sports bike class). Both promise a sub-80-horsepower peak output, similar underpinnings, and most importantly, a sub-$10,000 MSRP, all of which makes them uncanny contenders for your hard-earned money. But which one of these should you take home? Well, allow us to help with this quick comparison.

This can mean limitless possibilities but also an overwhelming number of options. One of the biggest problems you will run in to is that every person will have their own opinions on what makes the perfect bike for a beginner. Some think it is a bike with some power, and others believe it should be a small bike that offers easier handling with less weight.

But there’s an exception - the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. Team Green has given the inline-four screamer regular updates–the latest one came in 2019–and it’s about to do the same once again for the upcoming 2024 model year. Plus, this won’t be another color update (like the MY2023 announcement), instead a heavily revised 600cc Kwacker.

You could say that it ushered in the dawn of the modern sport bike. Everything was supremely extra on it, from its modern looks, to the high-end specs, to that memorable name. And though Kawasaki wasn't too keen on it originally, its American branch was utterly convinced that calling the GPZ900 "Ninja" would pay major dividends down the line. Now, with over 10 different Ninjas in their lineup, Kawasaki clearly knows what it has on its hands. And even though each of those variants has a special place in some rider's heart, there's only one that could leave them all behind in one twist of a wrist.

But what’s remained unchanged for 23 years is their top speed, because no matter what’s your poison, production sport bikes - even the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2 - max out at 299 kph (or 186 mph). Now, this isn’t slow by any measure (and we don’t recommend it on public roads), but if you’ve ever wondered why your speedo stops at ‘186,’ you’re in the right place. This is exactly what we’ll unravel here, and to start off, let’s travel back in time to see how motorcycles crept up to within touching distance of the magic 300 kph mark.

<![CDATA[Drag Race: Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R vs Suzuki Hayabusa]]> https://www.topspeed.com/kawasaki-ninja-zx-14r-vs-suzuki-hayabusa-drag-race/ The Suzuki Hayabusa was the fastest motorcycle in the world during the early 2000s, and this was one reason why it gained immense popularity. In an attempt to reap similar benefits, Kawasaki whipped up the Ninja ZX-14R a few years later and while it did taste success, it couldn't sway away the Busa’s popularity much. Regardless, the H2-maker claimed the ZX-14R was faster than the Hayabusa and that’s exactly what this drag race video between the Ninja and the Busa puts to test. Let’s dive in.

<![CDATA[Bimota is back with a supercharged machine: Tesi H2. Courtesy Kawasaki]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/bimota-is-back-with-a-supercharged-machine-tesi-h2-courtesy-kawasaki/ It had been over a couple of weeks that we’d learned about the Japanese Green Team->ke299’s acquisition of the celebrated Bimota brand from Swiss-Italian entrepreneurs Marco Chiancianesi and Daniele Longoni. But little did we know that this hostile effort would turn out to produce a no-holds-barred hyperbike powered by most powerful motorcycle engine in production in a jiffy, and we’ll get to see it in the flesh.

<![CDATA[Which are the Highest revving production motorcycles ever made?]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/guides/which-are-the-highest-revving-production-motorcycles-ever-made/ Motorcycles engines are known for their high-revving nature. Since they are limited in size and slapping them with massive big-block motors like the ones you see on automotives is a non-option, they compensate for making that big power by revving higher than most cars out there. For most motorcycles, 8000 to 11000 rpm’s are a standard affair, and all current sports bikes rev happily at these ranges and push the redline a wee bit more too.

Safety and visibility were increased through LED technology, and instrumentation moves into the 21st century with a TFT display to deliver the metrics. New tires and new networking technology round out the package along with the engine performance and handling that made the last generation a hit.

<![CDATA[2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/kawasaki/2019-kawasaki-ninja-zx-10rr/ Kawasaki beefs up its street-legal racebike game for MY2019 with the improved Ninja ZX-10RR superbike. This hotly-contested sector caters directly to the fiery-eyed pegdraggers out there, and should be considered a continuation of the closed-circuit competition between the pros, just in a different venue. A new engine drives the windtunnel-tested chassis with a number of internal improvements along with a handful of suspension tweaks to handle all that extra power. Best of all, it comes with the necessary gear to make it street legal but can be quickly stripped for track days.

<![CDATA[2018 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/kawasaki/2018-kawasaki-ninja-zx-10r-se/ Most of the major players have a street-legal racebike replica on the market for relatively ordinary Joes/Janes, and for Kawasaki, that distinction falls to the 2018 Ninja ZX-10R Special Edition. The SE borrows its plant from the Kawasaki Racing Team's WSBK liter-bike race program along with top-shelf electronic rider aids that add safety and value. Plus, this model comes stock with Kawi's Electronic Control Suspension system that delivers three separate modes, each with their own performance profile for quick switchups. Best of all, the Ninja ZX-10R SE is priced with us mere mortals in mind, having a sticker in the lower five-digit range instead of the six figures a few manufacturers demand for their equivalent machine.

Competition is fierce at the top of the liter-bike range, but Kawi has a not-so-secret weapon in its fight for street dominance in the form of a supercharger (compressor) that significantly boosts performance. The electronic suite received a buff as well with electronic suspension control bundled with new riding modes and the ability to network with your smartphone. Plus, it rocks a “self-repairing” finish that resists dings and scratches to help it keep its curb value.

The “new” category is well populated with items as minor as a new model-specific emblem up through a brand-new powerplant and electronic augmentation. Oh yeah, the supercharger that made this supersport line famous reprises its role with an efficient new design ramping up compression while it minimizes heat generation. As a result, this new pair comes with more of everything that made the previous gen a hit.

This mid-size Ninja “636” added last year carried a host of improvements that range from vanity-to-vroom with spruced-up looks, LED lighting, and new instrumentation, just to name a few. The electronics were upgraded as well, and the new features stack with the incumbent power modes, traction control, and Kawasaki's own Intelligent Brake System.

The A1 bracket's restrictions are fairly severe, and it takes a special machine to balance the limited performance requirements against what it takes to make something actually fun to ride. Kawi's littlest Ninja brings the right blend of small-bike power and big-bike handling to the table to fit that bill, so today I want to check out this exciting new ride and see how it stacks up against the competition from some of the other big four.

<![CDATA[My Top Five Bike Picks For Women Who Don't Want A Cruiser]]> https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/my-top-five-bike-picks-for-women-who-don-t-want-a-cruiser/ Is being a woman and wanting to ride a motorcycle a big deal nowadays? It isn't as much a 'big deal' now as it was a few decades ago. Our culture is more open to folks of the female gender doing anything and everything we want to do, but there is still a certain barrier when it comes to riding a motorcycle. Why? Because traditionally, bikes were designed with men in mind, at least 5' 8” tall and with enough upper body strength to wrestle the weight and pick one up if it ended up on its side. Women were generally relegated to cruisers because we are typically shorter than men and cruisers have the low seat heights. That is changing as more manufacturers recognize that there is a whole customer base out here with money to spend. So what shall we spend our money on if we don't want a plain ol' cruiser?
