Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS 30th Anniversary pairs a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 55.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 13.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja ZX-10R ABS 30th Anniversary measures 201 kg (443 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 813 mm (32 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
