An all-new model that makes a full-on supersport image easily accessible, the Ninja 250R embodies the modern sports concept. Its liquid-cooled DOHC Parallel Twin features fuel injection for easy starting, stable power delivery and rider-friendly engine performance at all rpm. In particular, a strong low-mid range combined with a plentiful top-end help the Ninja 250R further resemble its namesake. The compact chassis design offers a riding position that is sporty, yet enables easy control of the machine. Handles positioned slightly forward and up result in a very natural riding posture, ensuring a high degree of freedom that translates to confidence when controlling the bike. With its supersport looks and easy-going character, the Ninja 250R offers a wide variety of riding enjoyment. |
| Ninja 250R - Track Bike Special |

The liquid-cooled DOHC Single boasts stable power delivery care of newly added fuel injection. Robust high-rpm power puts the KLX250 out in front of the crowd, and a wide torque band ensures superb response across the rev range. Complementing the compact, lightweight chassis, revised suspension settings add surefootedness. And the revisions do not stop there… The new KLX250 features a completely redesigned styling package, starting with a new dual-bulb headlamp, easy-to-read digital instruments, petal disc brakes… With this latest evolution, the KLX250 comes of age. |
| Ninja ZX-10R |
One of the key development factors of the new Ninja ZX-10R was the direct implementation of know-how gained from Kawasaki's racing activities. The result of the pursuit of the essence of racing engineering, Kawasaki's supersport flagship has evolved and matured. With circuit performance a foremost concern, the highly acclaimed liquid-cooled DOHC In-Line Four benefits from even greater high-rpm potential. The new backbone twin-tube frame enables the two-way communication necessary for high-level riding: road surface conditions and bike behaviour are transmitted to the rider; the rider's intentions are transmitted to the bike. With all the refinements to maximise race-winning performance and rider-machine synchronicity, the Ninja ZX-10R represents a big step forward for riders who enjoy being in control of a high-performance machine. |
| Ninja ZX-10R Cut Model |
A cut model of the Ninja ZX-10R is also on display. Its main parts have been cut away to highlight the bike's key features. In particular, please note the Kawasaki-original backbone twin-tube frame, the aluminium die-cast sub-frame and the swingarm composed of press beams - a combination that delivers superb feedback to the rider. New bodywork maximises the machine-rider interface, a great advantage when competing on the racetrack. |
