BSB: MSS Kawasaki boosted by Oulton form
By Visordown News on 05/05/2009 09:09:45
'Stomping on the big boys is all part of the fun for us’ says Team Owner, Nick Morgan
, but to run up front like that really signals our intent and capability. Don’t knock the ZX10-R. Come Donington, when we’ve ironed out the pimples – and that’s all they are, both Julien and Simon are going to be a force to be reckoned with. The whole team know

MSS Colchester Kawasaki put up another strong performance at this weekend's BSB Knockhill meet
‘I’m driving back from Knockhill with mixed feelings. I think the fact I’m not doing back-flips speaks volumes about how far we’ve come with the ZX-10R this year. This time last year we were celebrating an eleventh placed finish. This year we’ve achieved a

First ride: 2010 Kawasaki Z1000 review
By Roland Brown on 14/06/2010 09:28:32
Kawasaki’s naked beast is back, not with a whimper, but with a big styling bang and an engine to back up the new look. Roland Brown gets down with the brand new Zed
, starting with that ZX-10R style aluminium frame whose twin spars run above the angled-forward engine. It’s more than 3kg lighter than the old steel cage as well as being 30 per cent more torsionally rigid. The new rear shock sits almost horizontally

Cool Runnings - Kawasaki ZZR-1400 Vs Suzuki Hayabusa
By John Hogan on 06/05/2010 11:39:31
We were invited for an exclusive ride with the British bobsleigh team at Innsbruck but needed to get there in a hurry. Cue Suzuki’s Hayabusa and Kawasaki’s ZZR-1400
Commander we managed to clock a genuine and staggering 200mph back in the Jan ’08 issue. Looks-wise the Hayabusa draws first blood. From every angle the Suzuki looks the business, sleek, curvy and business like. The ZZR looks like a puffy ZX-10R, some like

Roland Brown fires back his first thoughts on Kawasaki's new 1000cc naked
on the ZX-10R, creating an overall narrower mid-section. The engine, working as a stressed member of the frame, is solid bolted at three places, with a rubber mount at the upper rear of the crankcase, making the bike feel surprisingly slim."The build quality

Get down on your knees and play

Ted Lawson. Respect is due
as the 'Tricky Triangle' amongst the NASCAR drivers but the superbikes used a mix of infield and sections of the banked circuit.That’s some lean angle on crappy cross-ply Good Year slicks on a bike with a crankshaft that’s probably as heavy as a whole ZX-10
