After getting unveiled globally last year, the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R has now made its way into the Indonesian market. The litre-class sportbike has been priced at IDR 520,000,000 that converts to INR 26.77 lakh. In comparison, the new BMW S 1000 RR rival costs INR 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom) in India and is available in two colour options - Lime Green and Flat Ebony Type 2.
Kawasaki has incorporated a plethora of changes in the new Ninja ZX-10R to make the motorcycle that much more capable than its predecessor. For example, the updated model of the litre-class sportbike comes with improved aerodynamics. It has winglets integrated into the front fairing that result in an additional downforce which is approximately 17% higher than that of the previous model. The rear seat is also designed to create a low-pressure area behind the rider, to prevent air drag during frequent manoeuvring.
