At the heart of the 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R sport motorcycle, Kawasaki relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 114.7 Nm (84.6 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 55.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 12.7:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja ZX-10R measures 175.1 kg (386 lbs) dry. 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 1,389 mm (54.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.21 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 274 km (170 miles) between fill-ups.
