2013 KAWASAKI ZX 10-R, The 2013 Ninja ZX-10R superbike continues to astound passionate motorcyclists with its level of technology, reliability, and the intense feelings that envelope anyone throwing a leg over this potent literbike. It represents what can be achieved by the finest engineers when an appreciation of speed and design are applied to a motorcycle, without the desire to be anything other than the absolute best.Key Features• NEW Öhlins-Kawasaki electronic steering damper reacts to current speed as well as rate of acceleration and deceleration to help provide the ideal amount of damping force across a wide range of riding scenarios• Engine and chassis allow for linear power delivery• Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) continuously monitors wheel speed, throttle position, engine rpm and a host of other data to help ensure the optimal amount of traction• Power Mode selector allows riders to select power level and power delivery• Aluminum frame has ideal strength and rigidity• Big Piston Fork (BPF) helps maintain composure under braking• Horizontal back-link rear suspension helps deliver smooth suspension action• Slipper-type back-torque limiting clutch helps corner entry handling• Race-oriented instrumentation offers riders a wealth of informationNew Öhlins-Kawasaki Electronic Steering Damper• Specially tuned for the 2013 ZX-10R, this new electronic damper helps provide the ideal amount of damping force across a wide range of riding scenarios• Maintains a high level of rider feedback by allowing lower damping forces under less taxing conditions, but quickly adapts to increase damping and enhance high-speed stability when required• Reacts to current speed as well as rate of acceleration or deceleration to help provide light steering feel at low speed, as well as superior damping at higher speeds or during extreme acceleration/deceleration• Uses Öhlins’ patented twin-tube design to help ensure stable damping performance and superior kickback absorptionLiquid-cooled, DOHC, 998cc, Inline-four Engine• Design is compact, narrow and lightweight• Camshafts, crankshaft and pistons designed to complement the engine’s prodigious power production• Large intake valves, camshaft profiles and port shapes help maximize power production and smooth power delivery• Chromoly camshafts enhance durability• Single-shaft secondary
2013 KAWASAKI ZX 6R, The new 2013 Ninja ZX-6R marks the return of a middleweight sportbike legend, three numbers that strike fear into the heart of the competition: six...three...six. It is a tradition born of street cred and racetrack domination, a performance boost offered at the same price as the competition’s regular six hundreds, and it’s a machine that screams Performance Counts! The new ZX-6R honors a dominating family tradition – started ten years ago with the first 636, a revolutionary machine that blew-away the competition’s 600’s on the street and won races against factory 750’s on the track.Key Features• Genuine Supersport performance and styling with an added dose of street potency• New 636cc inline-four is supremely powerful on the racetrack and extremely flexible on the street• New Selectable engine power modes• New Three-mode KTRC traction control• New Showa Big Piston Separate Function Fork (BP-SFF) offers light weight, easy adjustability and fantastic wheel control• New one-piece “monobloc” radial-mount Nissin front brake calipers and radial-pump front brake master cylinder offer superb braking power and control• New F.C.C. clutch with assist and slipper functions offers light clutch pull, strong clamping force and helps minimize wheel chatter caused by aggressive downshifting• New sharp and aggressive bodywork and styling details clearly shout: “Performance Counts!”• Revised lightweight twin-spar aluminum frame places the engine in the optimum position for superb handling and rider feedback and features a new steeper 23.5-degree rake angle that helps quicken steering response, enhance maneuverability and promote clear communication from the front tire• New Steering stem seals produce less friction for easier steering inputs and noticeably improved handling at low speedsNEW 636cc Engine• New 636cc displacement uses a longer-stroke to boost engine performance throughout the rev range. Low-mid range torque is especially enhanced, making roll-on and real world performance more usable• Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) system features four 38mm Keihin throttle bodies with oval sub-throttles• Revised intake and exhaust ports suit the engine’s larger displacement. The intake ports are wider near the throttle bodies and the passages to the valves split earlier. The exhaust ports are wider near the exhaust valves• New intake cam lobes feature longer dura
