  • #KawasakiNinja Ninja is the name given to the name of the family of Kawasaki sportbikes that came into being in 1984 with the GPZ900R. Since then, the performance of the Ninja has become legendary, and many different sizes and shapes of models have carried the Ninja name onto the road everywhere.
    Since 1984 when the Ninja was released, the bikes have rocked the world with a name that is as recognizable as that famous Kawasaki Green. Here is the EVOLUTION of the beloved sportbike, the Ninja. And you guys can compare the change and improvement each Ninja from first generation until newest generation. #SuperBike #ZX10RR

    Still hanging on to my 95 model ZX-11. 52,000 miles and still no problems. I know it's been years since it was the fastest but, at age 62 it's still fast enough for me.

      @Mike X Probably not, Electric engines don't produce as much HP to get up to high speeds. Their torque is insane for acceleration.

      Lol you already have 3 motorcycles, and you talk about other motorcycles but still dont know why the H2R is not legal on the streets? Its not dumb because its bot intended for the streets, its only of track use. It doesnt have a headlight, tail light, horn, signal lights just like motoGP bikes

    Still love my 93zx11d, spent 2000 in bearings, and brakes and rotors, stage 3 jet kit and carb rebuild, fuel pump, and new tires. Started polishing stuff. Really looks good, and still gets complements all the time.

    • @MichaelZZRrider
      @MichaelZZRrider Před 4 lety

      Mine is a 93D as well, I dont want to say what I have spent on it. Even the washers come from Kawasaki. It is like it is a new Uprated springs and shock. Turns heads whever I go.

      @David b , Right on! I do too. I was at the U.S. debut at Laguna Seca 1983 . I instantly fell in love and bought the 3rd one onto the shop I was working at. ( The 1st two were already spoken for) It has been 35 years now. I must have owned 60 plus bikes since then. I have 4 other bikes at this moment, but my GPz900r is still my favorite . Just a great all around machine.

    I own the ZZR 1100 D(1999). When this bike came out was the King of speed for 6 years until honda blackbird came which was faster 3 km/h, but was not so aerodynamic and beautiful as the ZZR was
    When we talk about power and speed, the big K comes to each's biker's mind no matter what bike he rides.

      It would be short, it never changed (apart from the homologation RR) from its 96 intro to 03 when it was dropped.

    Completely left out probably the most often overlooked but pivotal piece in the ZX/ZZR lineup, the ZZR1200(ZX12C) 2002-2005. Given it's status as the most powerful carbureted production bike at 160 crank 145 RW HP this bike always gets forgotten about between the ZX11 and ZX12R. Let's give it some love!

    Leggenda! Manca la radice! Sarebbe bello una sua riedizione, raffreddata ad acqua con un telaio serio sospensioni serie, freni seri, ed il doppio dei giri-motore! H2B 750 Mach IV l'inizio del mito! L'urlo del piacere! I brividi nella schiena solo a ricordarla!....Un'altra realtà'! Tenerla in strada era una lotta, in curva veloce...una scommessa, ma nel misto stretto.....non la fermava nessuno! Un'accelerazione da draghster!.....Che tempi! Che moto!
