By Ben Cope on 22/11/2010 12:51:53
Kawasaki's all-new ZX-10R is bursting with technology. But is it better than BMW's S1000RR?
the benefit of what is arguably the best bit of technology on the new ZX-10R; S- KTRC. Traction control to you and me.Click here for the Kawasaki ZX-10R first ride review page 2/2.

First Ride: Kawasaki ZX-10R
By Roland Brown on 20/09/2010 14:06:19
Last year Kawasaki bought a race circuit to sharpen up its bikes on. The first to feel the benefit is the occasionally wayward ZX-10R.
, it was clear that this was very much a ZX-10R. It zapped out of turns with an addictive blend of raw acceleration and high-revving smoothness, the unchanged max output of 173bhp - 182bhp with the ram air - sending it tonking towards the 13,000rpm redline

First Ride: 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R
By Simon Bowen on 17/02/2008 15:06:56
Jim Bowen managed to completely spanner a ZX-10R the last time we put him on one. He has never been to the Qatar MotoGP circuit. So, who better to make a complete arse of himself...

fighting the new ZX-10R. You can just get on it and ride it fast from the off and it does everything very well, giving plenty of feedback from the chassis, tyres and brakes. So, Kawasaki, I’m happy to say, have finally cracked it with a genuine contender

Aprilia RSV4 Factory versus 2009 Honda Fireblade
By Visordown News on 07/06/2009 11:09:13
After glimpses of brilliance on the bike's wet launch at Misano, Visordown has finally tested the new V4 Aprilia back-to-back with the best 1000cc sportsbike out there, Honda's CBR1000RR Fireblade
the gig. Italy’s notoriously slippery Misano circuit may have been rain-lashed but the Aprilia’s class shone through: unbelievable agility; easy, usable power; and the kind of charisma that has your brain thinking £15,000’s actually very reasonable for a

First Ride: 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade
By Niall Mackenzie on 07/11/2008 12:08:31
Honda doesn’t do quirky on its sportsbikes without a very good reason. Niall puts Honda's new superbike through its paces
. Journos that had recently been to Losail on the 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R launch said the Kawasaki pulled your arms off compared to the Blade, which makes sense as Kawasaki is claiming a maximum power output of 200bhp (with ram air.) This certainly wasn’t my

First Ride: Suzuki GSX-R750 K6 review
By James Whitham on 17/09/2010 12:04:12
Suzuki's legendary headbanging 750 gets a few tweaks for 2006. Is it still the thinking man's superbike?
remember trying to wrestle a GRXR 11 round the TT in '89 and shitting myself for most of every lap. And those were good compared to CBR 1000's or the original ZX10's.I'm not slagging these bikes off, it's just that they weren't supposed to do what people

First Ride: 2005 Kawasaki ZX-6R
By Niall Mackenzie on 19/02/2005 16:32:41
It's all change in the supersport class. First Yamaha, then Honda, now Kawasaki. Niall braves the rain again and tries his best to stay on board the new ZX-6R
and lighter ZX-10R-style wheels. The underseat muffler is less tidy and protrudes more than the CBR 600RR's, but looks good never the less.On to the fun part. After hopping aboard I found the riding position for me was a tad cramped. The pegs didn't give me

Kawasaki re-ignite the horsepower battle with the year's most outrageous new bike. Tim Dickson says 'hooray' for Japan's latest autobahn stormer.
