The Kawasaki Ninja’s revolutionary all-aluminium monocoque frame and cast steering swingarm pivot areas realise an extremely stiff structure and contribute to the bike’s superb high-speed stability and supersport handling performance.

The ZX12R’s wind-tunnel designed fairing was developed with help from Kawasaki’s aircraft division and the redesigned upper cowl has a shorter nose for improved aerodynamics and a sportier look. In honour of an agreement reached among Japanese manufacturers, starting with 2001 models, Kawasaki introduced speed limiters in the ZX-12R to reduce the bike’s top speed to 300 km/h.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX12R – the biggest change to the 2004 model other than slight colour/grahic changes is the addition of radially mounted brakes which now give the ZX12 the availability of awesome deceleration that perfectly compliments this motorcycles blistering acceleration that is deliverd by its power plant. And. dual throttle valves which paired with the new ECU have improved low end power delivery further still.

A roomy bike even for two that certainly beats its competition (ie. the Blackbird and Hayabusa) on the agility front.

Power is in abundance throughout the rev range and allows this machine to deliver a smooth and seemingly effortless ride in comfort.
