Nostalgic ZXR colors come back to life on the ZX-10R
The Ninja ZX-10R is a bike that prioritizes racing potential, yet still offers the fun of riding on the street. The Ninja ZX-10R 40th Anniversary Edition commemorates the 40th anniversary of Kawasaki's Ninja supersport lineage.
The equipment is unchanged from the standard model, but the ZXR series' familiar lime green, white, and blue three-layer color scheme is used. In addition to graphics reminiscent of the ZXR's activities in the 80s~90s, the frame is painted silver, and the wheels lime green, giving the ZXR a replica style down to the smallest detail.
The ZX-4RR logo has also been added to the tail cowl, and this logo design has been carefully chosen to match the font used on the 1989 ZXR, and the Ninja logo on the tank has also been updated to match the original Ninja. A 40th-anniversary sticker in the style of a champion sticker is affixed to the top of the tank. The tank's upper section bears a 40th-anniversary sticker in the style of a champion sticker, which asserts the bike's anniversary specifications!
The release date is the same as the other 40th Anniversary editions, Saturday, December 23, 2023, and the price is (approx.) 15847 USD. This is (approx.) 218 USD more than the base ZX-10R.
The flagship of the ZX series, the ZX-10R, also has a 40th Anniversary Edition. It faithfully reproduces the design of the ZXR series.
