Overview
The 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS is a sportbike from the 2012 model year. Its liquid-cooled, 998 cm³ inline-four produces 113 Nm of torque at 11,500 rpm, and the motorcycle weighs 201 kg.
The torque peak comes at high rpm, so reaching the engine’s maximum pull means revving it. ABS supports braking control, while the 43 mm inverted front fork and rear suspension offer extensive adjustment for tuning their response; the 813 mm seat height sets a relatively elevated seating position.

Pros and cons
Advantages
ABS braking
ABS is fitted with twin 310 mm front discs and four-piston calipers, giving the front brake substantial hardware with anti-lock support.
Adjustable suspension
The fork and rear suspension offer adjustments to tune damping and spring preload for the rider and conditions.
Things to consider
Torque peaks at high rpm
Maximum torque arrives at 11,500 rpm, so the engine must be revved to deliver its strongest pull.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
