2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R
2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R
This is the next Kawasaki ZX-10R for 2012. Super-strong style could be a way forward for Kawasaki 1000cc naughty boy. Motorevue, a French magazine, says this will be what the next generation of Kawasaki ZX-10R will look like. The new ZX-10R Superbike MotoGP will be renewed with aggressive lines, angular, a narrow front, and a piece of the tail with a wasp-like tail raised as to the latest MotoGP machines.
