The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-9R was a sports motorcycle dressed in a full fairing manufactured from 1994, when it replaced the GPZ900R, until 2003, when it was replaced by the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
The first ZX-9R model had many designs shared with the ZZ-R1100 models, including the three-spoke aluminum wheels, the fully adjustable Kayaba suspension system, and the box-section swingarm.
In 1994, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-9R, a sports machine that packed standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a single headlight unit, a four-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm fully adjustable inverted Kayaba fork on the front and an adjustable uni-track shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.
The braking power was handled by two 310 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 210 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1994 Kawasaki ZX-9R Ninja had installed underneath its fairing an 899cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by four Keihin carburetors, boasting 139 hp at 10,500 rpm and 94 Nm ( 69 lb-ft) torque at 9,000 rpm.
