NINJA ZX-10R REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
For the 2008 Ninja ZX-10R, Kawasaki engineers wanted a highly communicative package that would enhance the two-way dialog between rider and machine that professional racers require to ride at the highest level.
That meant the chassis had to deliver a high level of feedback while being highly responsive to rider input – and all this in stock form. A tall order. But, having worked on every litre- and mid-class supersport model since the 2003 Ninja ZX-6R/6RR, not to mention their direct involvement with Kawasaki’s factory superbike efforts, one the dedicated design and engineering team were in a unique position to deliver.

ULTRA-HIGH FEEDBACK CHASSIS
Chassis updates contribute to improved handling, but the biggest changes revolve around increased feedback to the rider, providing communication essential for riding at the highest level.

RACE-READY ENGINE
To optimise the 10R’s performance for the track, the new engine has been tuned for even greater high-rpm performance without reducing the engine’s impressive low and mid-range torque. In addition, throttle response was improved by installing secondary fuel injectors, using oval throttle bodies and reshaping the intake ports. These changes give the new engine a performance potential very similar to Kawasaki’s factory superbike racing machines, making it essentially a race-ready engine.

RIDER-FRIENDLY PACKAGE MEETS TOP NINJA STYLING

In the city or on twisty country roads, the lightweight, rider-friendly Ninja 250R is a blast to ride! With an engine character that can be fully exploited, a compact, easyto-operate chassis and full-fairing supersport styling worthy of its moniker, this model was developed to offer street sport performance to riders of all skill levels.

Powered by a gutsy 249 cm³ parallel twin, this lightweight Ninja is loaded with riderfriendly
features such as a low seat height, low-effort controls and a comfortable riding position. Best of all, like the Ninja ZX-10R and 6R supersport bikes, the Ninja 250R places control firmly in the hands of the rider, making it the most exciting bike in its category.

Lightweight handling, easy controllability and gutsy throttle response make the 250R fun to ride on city streets. For great handling and high stability it runs 17-inch wheels. Powerful 2-piston disc brake delivers plenty of stopping power with sensitive feel at the lever. Like Kawasaki’s other sport models, the Ninja 250R is fitted with petal discs for efficient heat dissipation. A natural, upright riding position and comfortable ergonomics give riders the feeling of control needed for the active, sporty riding for which the 250R was designed.

One look at the Ninja 250R tells everyone that this bike is the Real Thing. From the aggressive full fairing and kicked up muffler to the racy dual seat, this is the most stylish bike in its category. The fairing and windscreen not only look great, they deliver excellent wind protection for this exciting bike’s wide range of riding situations.
