Overview
The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R SE is a sportbike in the Ninja ZX-10R family, produced from 2018 through 2026. The 2026 model uses a 998.0 cm³ inline-four, four-stroke engine making 190 hp (142 kW) and 111.9 Nm of torque at 11,300 rpm; its wet weight is 210.1 kg.
Torque peaks at high engine speed, so the strongest pull arrives when the engine is revving. The 826 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to reach the ground at stops, while the 210.1 kg wet weight takes more effort to maneuver at low speed. Fuel consumption is 5.90 L/100 km, with an estimated full-tank range of about 288 km from the 17.00-liter tank. The front fork offers adjustable preload and damping, and Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) provides electronic traction assistance. The seat is 10 mm lower than on the 2025 model.

Strong output
The 190 hp engine gives the Ninja ZX-10R SE substantial power for rapid acceleration.
Things to consider
Optional ABS
ABS is optional rather than standard, so it is not included on every version.
Heavy at low speed
At 210.1 kg wet, the bike takes more effort to maneuver around parking lots and during slow turns.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
