The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 2004 until the present (2023). The bike was part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range and replaced the Ninja ZX-9R model.
The bike debuted in 2004 and was constantly updated over the years, combining an ultra-narrow chassis, low weight, and radial brakes. In 2004 and 2005, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R won the "Best Superbike" title from Cycle World magazine and the International Masterbike competition.
In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZX-10 MotoGP Replica, a limited edition version of the ZX-10R based on the previous year's colors and riders.
The limited edition MotoGP Replica was made in limited numbers, 50 to be more accurate, and featured an Akrapovic dual exhaust system as standard mounted under the seat and 2006-style MotoGP graphics near Nakano's name and number, even though Honda hired Nakano as a rider.
The 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R MotoGP Replica had installed a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 175 hp with a peak force at 11,700 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 9,500 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 291 kph (181 mph).
