    The different revisions made to the Ninja ZX10R model are amazing. The 2011 ZX-10R underwent major overhaul both mechanically and visually.
    The S-KTRC (Sport Kawasaki Traction Control) system is responsible for predicting when traction will be lost and adapting accordingly.
    Also the KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent Braking System) as their optional ABS system, a completely new design, adjustable foot-pegs, larger throttle bodies, a horizontal rear suspension, lighter three-spoke wheels, Showa Big Piston Fork (BPF) front suspension, and an LCD panel dashboard -have been added to the model since 2011.

    The 2012 model is identical to the 2011 with the only exception being the slightly different paint schemes offered.

    In 2013 the models went under another small revision where the colors offered changed again and the front dampener was replaced with an Ohlins electronic front steering dampener.

    All of us are waiting to see a perfect launch where kawasaki ninja overtaking Suzuki's hyabusa.At a price tag of 15 Lackhs Suzuki Hyabusa definitely pose a threat to ninja.Both have nearly same top speed and attain 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds but Still Hyabusa has edge over Ninja in my point of view.
