It was presented in the paddock at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany on Sunday as there will be the third last stage of World derived series, the new Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja WSBK. After the first photo official and a sequence of images and videos of a Ninja engaged in testing on the track, the new super Akashi has made the international press in the environment, according to the expectations of the company, will be more congenial : that the race track.
As mentioned in previous articles, in fact, like what was done by BMW and Aprilia Kawasaki has also pursued the development of the last heir of the dynasty ninja with an eye for the world championship which will be undertaken as early as next year.
An ambitious project, because sottointende a strong will to win against the reality that investing capital ever seen in SBK, which has led to a contortion of design techniques, which is extremely difficult to do within Japan. Even without having yet seen and touched by hand, so it is easy to assume that the road version of the bike will be unveiled yesterday with headlights, mirrors and plate motion a much more extreme than the previous version … which is the engine in driving dynamics .
Regarding HP, considering that BMW has moved the bar far beyond the 190 hp (193 to be precise) is to be expected that a year later, with the previous model to 188 hp stable for 3 years in Kawasaki have set out to reach the market with the first world superbike road 200 bhpfigure had risen to a value between 230 and 240 hp version SBK.
With regard to cycling, inline four-cylinder engine with benches placed vertically rather than horizontally (exactly the opposite of what the patents had suggested), makes its appearance in an aluminum frame that leaves the classic profile boomerang previous versions of a design to marry slightly more conventional.
A profile in his upper back area gives way to the transmission of the engine, moved up to compact the engine and allow the fork to present much longer than in the past, so as to provide a longer lever arm to the benefit of progressive action and traction exiting corners.
Showa fully, the Department of WSBK racing suspension will not be inherited from the road version, though the Japanese brand will certainly make the street version of its best products: the front is so obviously indicative of excellent GMP’ve seen on the ZX-6R.
Characterized by a highly personal style, the only “sin” of a front air intake that closely resembles that of S1000RR, the new Ninja looks very modern and relatively massive volumes of the fairing is likely that in addition to the usual stylistic choices are many ways the result of extensive studies in the gallery of the wind.
To see the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R in action in official activities of the world must wait for the opening of test activities in 2011, while on the road version of Akashi has made it clear it will present its new product at the Cologne Showin scheduled for next October.
