Ninja ZX-10R KRT Replica

2017 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R KRT Replica Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kawasaki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R KRT Replica utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) at 13,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 113.5 Nm (83.7 lb-ft) at 11,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 200.4 HP per liter and a 1,400 rpm working window between peak torque (11,600 rpm) and peak power (13,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the Ninja ZX-10R KRT Replica measures 206 kg (454 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.97 HP/kg (1.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, 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 paired with a rated consumption of 5.9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 289 km (180 miles) between fill-ups.
