Following the lead set by a few European manufacturers, Kawasaki has fully embraced the electronic revolution with the all-new ZX-10R. Taming the liquid-cooled inline-Four is the MotoGP-derived Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC). Plus, the rider can pick from three modes that alter power output on the fly to suit various riding conditions. A high-tech chassis uses a Showa Big Piston Fork and a lay-down shock to improve mass centralization. Also available: The ZX-10R ABS, the same bike but equipped with KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System).
