2006 Kawasaki ZX-10R – First Ride

Posted by mcphils On February - 8 - 2006

Kevin Duke of MotorcycleUSA.Com has come up with an exhaustive review of Kawasaki’s 2006 ZX-10R.

Development of the new ZX-10R began immediately after the introduction of the 2004 model. Nearly every part on the new bike has been replaced or revised.

The architecture of the 998cc inline-Four shares its bore and stroke with the old powerplant, but it’s been thoroughly tweaked with the intention of providing a more linear powerband and a stronger midrange without sacrificing its walloping top-end hit.

Unlike the 38th Motorshow 2 years ago, this year’s show featured cars and motorcycles powered by hybrid engines or pure electricity. It comes as no surprise why all the Japanese automakers and motorcycle manufacturers are out to tease the viewing public on the future of hybrid engines which is fast gaining popularity all over the world.
