The 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R continues to set the pace for performance in the superbike class, powered by a 998cc in-line four-cylinder, 16-valve engine, offering a balance of blistering power and refined manageability. Equipped with advanced electronics like Kawasaki Cornering Management Function (KCMF), Bosch IMU, and Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC), the 2025 ZX-10R is born for maximum performance. The ZX-10R’s TFT color display with smartphone connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP and cruise control further enhance the rider’s experience. More progressive features include Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM), Intelligent ABS (KIBS), and a Quick Shifter (KQS) for smooth gear transitions.
Handling is where the Ninja ZX-10R shines, thanks to its aluminum twin-spar frame, Showa Balance Free Front Fork (BFF), and horizontal back-link rear suspension. These components, derived directly from Kawasaki’s World Superbike factory technology, sweeten cornering precision and light handling. The bike’s aerodynamic bodywork, complete with integrated winglets, reduces drag and increases downforce, improving overall performance.
For 2025, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is available in Metallic Flat Spark Black/Ebony colorways, with the non-ABS model priced at $17,799 and the ABS version at $18,799. Kawasaki’s Racing Team (KRT) Edition, featuring exclusive KRT graphics in Lime Green/Ebony/Pearl Blizzard White, is also available at the same price points.
For those seeking an even higher level of performance, the 2025 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR ABS will catch your attention. Built off the high-performance ZX-10R platform, the ZX-10RR ABS features camshafts, intake, and exhaust valve springs. Titanium connecting rods, lighter pistons, and a high-revving engine improve the bike’s prowess. The ZX-10RR rolls on Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires mated to forged Marchesini wheels. With an MSRP of $30,499, the Ninja ZX-10RR ABS arrives in a Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray.

$31k for the RR? Manufacturers have gone mad .
It is a pretty big jump in price from the base and ABS models. You could almost buy two Rs of the base for the price of one RR.
Check the price of the Ninja H2R
It has completely different engine internals and is comparable in price to other race ready bikes.
