The 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R
The 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10, also called the Ninja ZX-10R, is all about performance, on the streets, or tearing up the track. The 2008 Ninja ZX-10R was born on the track, and the results were painstakingly transferred to the street-legal version, in this all-around fantastic version of a 1000CC sportbike! Not a lot of motorcycles can be taken on day one of ownership and deliver this amount of pure excitement, but the ZX-10R truly does!
Kawasaki, and their engineers, have employed a liquid cooled, 998CC, Dual Overhead Camshaft engine, with four valves per cylinder, that pushes out 83.2 foot-pounds of torque at 8,700 rpm. Weight was dropped from the engine by cutting channels in the crankcase, eliminating oil lines, and also adding a lighter crankshaft. Kawasaki added new secondary fuel injectors that helped to add top-end performance, along with reshaping the intake and exhaust ports. Kawasaki has always been a leader in ram-air induction, and this model has an even better system now due to re-shaping the velocity stacks and intake duct, which improves the flow of the air to the engine.
