After winning its sixth consecutive WorldSBK world championship, Kawasaki’s Ninja ZX-10R and ZX-10RR get minor technical updates and a major face-lift for 2021. The aggressive new look features, you guessed it, integrated winglets on the front fairing, as is the vogue. Kawasaki also made small revisions to the engine, electronics, and chassis. Sure, there’s no 215 hp headline grabber here, but we’re pretty sure that won’t stop Jonathan Rea from continuing to, you know, do “OK” in WorldSBK in 2021.
Kawasaki revised the throttle position sensor setup, relocating it to the grip to eliminate the cable. The engine has a revised transmission with shorter ratios for first, second, and third gears, and a 41-tooth rear sprocket (two teeth larger than before) to improve acceleration from the bottom. Kawasaki revised the exhaust and catalytic converter layout to achieve Euro 5 compliance.
Kawasaki, being a sensible company run by human beings who occasionally ride on freeways and have bodies that experience fatigue, also fitted the Ninja with cruise control as standard. To many of us, if a motorcycle is in a premium category and is road-legal, it just seems like giving it cruise control and heated grips should be a given. Heated grips are an optional extra—but at least they’re an option. So, well done, Kawi.
MSRP is as follows: $16,399 for the base-model ZX-10R, $16,699 for the KRT Edition graphics package, $17,399 for the ZX-10R ABS, and $17,699 for the KRT Edition ABS. There’s no word yet on availability.
The ZX-10RR ($28,999) gets a few engine updates, including Pankl titanium con-rods, lighter pistons, new camshafts, and new intake/exhaust springs. Kawasaki removed the intake funnels from the airbox. The RR also gets forged Marchesini wheels and Brembo Stylema calipers and stainless steel braided brake lines.
