Take a look at the 2011 New Generation Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja


The new 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R will impress its fan with its distinguishable traction control with the new S-KTRC system – what most of the bikers are looking for in a bike. While the latest traction control technology is much more advanced that the old days, the traction control in the 2011 ZX-10R model is way more cutting edge.

How? The advanced TC analyzes numerous factors including throttle position (plus the rate of opening), wheel speeds, engine rpm (plus rate of change), gear position, and speed to actually sense and begin formulating a plan of various mapping scenarios before tire slip occurs, comparing to the TC out there does when tire starts slipping.  The S-KTRC system will continue the analysis every five milliseconds once and adapt its mapping strategy once tire slips. Maintaining or even increasing acceleration, the TC system on Kawasaki ZX-10R is indeed developed for racing that predicts traction loss and proactively adapts its maps based on conditions.

“Forget everything you remember about the old ZX-10Rs of the past; the 2010 ZX-10R Ninja is all-new from the ground up,” said Karl Edmondson, Kawasaki Motor Corp U.S.A. product manager.
From the engine to chassis, the 2011 ZX-10R is completely different from the old models. The new engine will feature more aggressive cams actuating 1mm-larger intake valves, with the cylinder head sporting new intake and exhaust porting, and lighter pistons pushing a higher 13.0:1 compression ratio. The crankshaft is repositioned slightly higher for better mass centralization and drives a new secondary counterbalancer. The air ram intake duct tunnels are also repositioned into a larger air filter setup.

Available information also reveals the new 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R is curb-weighted 437pounds which is close to the Honda CBR1000RR , current flyweight of the class.
