By reducing the weight of individual parts like the frame, BPF, wheels and harness, a significantly lighter bike was possible.

Horizontal Back-link rear suspension offers increased feedback and stability in corners, and contributes to mass centralization.

The Horizontal Back-link rear suspension arrangement is less susceptible to heat, helping to ensure stable damping performance.

Use of a Big Piston Front fork (BPF) offers smooth damping characteristics, and contributes to enhanced composure under braking.

Revised chassis geometry gives the Next Ninja more flickable handling and greater feel from the front.

The Next Ninja uses a completely new frame. Offering ideal torsional rigidity, it enables excellent control and handling.

The new Ram Air intake is closer to the front of the bike (where pressure is higher), contributing to higher filling efficiency.

Bodywork on the Next Ninja uses larger openings to promote heat dissipation. Necessary with high power output.

On the Next Ninja, all excess mid-range torque was cut. Our priority was to make it easy to open the throttle.

By moving peak torque higher up in the rev range, torque valleys were almost completely eliminated.

When designing the Next Ninja's engine, the highest power of any Ninja to date was pursued.

Being around racing circles sometimes you get an early scoop on what the factories are doing or thinking about doing . A bird wouldnt tell me but hinted that the 2011 ZX10 is going in a new direction . instead of trying to up the ante in the horsepower wars . They are going to revamp the ZX10 focusing on making the bike .. rider friendly.. The 2011 ZX10 is to be the cutting edge in electronic suspension, traction comtrol and launch control . Even the ECU is to be programed to be inter twined with the all the electronic suspention and traction controls .More or less a twist and go handling package so even the mediocre rider can look like a star on track days .
Its makes sence . I know we have all heard this for years but I think the horsepower wars has hit the limit.How much more HP can you use,95% of the people can use the power they have now! Realistically even for the EXPERT rider . The BMW having 183 RWHP and the ZX10 having 170RWHP makes NO differance if the bike doesnt have the handling to go with it .Come spring you will be suprised at track days to find the expert riders bought bikes because of good handling like the Aprilla RSV4 at 160 RWHP ( if the have money lol) or the Buell 1125Rat 145RWHP( pipe and ECU and 6000$ new alot of track riders snatched them up already)
Both bikes are 40-50 hp down . But they will be running faster lap times .
THATS HOW MUCH THE RIDER AND HANDLING MAKE A DIFFERANCE !

AS far as having the next best thing to a MotoGP/WSB in cutting edge electronic suspension systems . I must be old fashioned or just plain getting old lol. But when I shave a 1/2 second off my lap times . It feels good to know it was ME who shaved off time . NOT the electronic controls doing it for me .

What do you guys think? would you like the twist and go suspension units ?
A person would look like the new superstar at the track OR riding with your buddies in the twisties .

Kawasaki ZX-10RThe all-new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R race bike has been unveiled to the international press at the Nürburgring. The presentation of the new bike comes just before the German round of the FIM Superbike World Championship, which will take place at the Nürburgring race track this weekend.


The new Ninja ZX-10R will mark a fresh start for Kawasaki in the championship. From 2011, the Kawasaki World Superbike Racing Team will receive more means and more support from the mother company in Japan. Since 2009, the Kawasaki Superbike Racing Team have evolved and restructured continuously in order to be in a position to utilize the new bike's potential to the maximum next season.


The initial race team bikes themselves will be full factory bikes, built and sent to the team from Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) in Japan. The bike is unveiled only now, as Kawasaki starts the European testing trajectory.


Competing in the Superbike World Championship with the all new Ninja ZX-10R will show and expose Kawasaki at the highest level of motorcycle racing. The rules of the championship mean that Kawasaki starts off with and stay within the concept of the production bike which will be available at the local Kawasaki dealership.


Kawasaki is a racing company and the Ninja brand has a solid racing history and pedigree. The new machine will give Kawasaki the possibility to revive the image of being a successful racing company as the company already shows in so many other of motorcycle racing categories within which Kawasaki competes today.


The unveiling of the new Ninja ZX-10R at the Nürburgring was the only chance for people to see the bike close up before next month. The next opportunity to be eye-to-eye with the new Ninja ZX-10R race bike will be the Intermot show in Cologne, starting the 6th of October
