2024 Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-10R 40th Anniversary Edition ABS – Rooted in Results

Decades of championship-proven dominance, wrapped in legendary heritage. The 2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 40th Anniversary Edition is a street-legal tribute to the machines that defined the modern supersport era. Hailing directly from the proving grounds of the FIM WorldSBK Championship—where it carried the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) to six consecutive titles—this limited-edition weapon combines raw racing innovation with a striking throwback livery that commands instant respect.

Finished in the iconic Lime Green / Pearl Crystal White / Blue heritage race paint scheme, this pristine, pre-owned superbike has only 3,120 miles on the odometer. It offers an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Kawasaki racing history, completely dialed in and ready to shred the track or dominate the street.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications & Mechanical Metrics

Championship-Proven Powertrain

• Engine Type: 4-stroke, In-Line Four, DOHC, 16-valve liquid-cooled cylinder layout

• Displacement: 998 cc

• Bore x Stroke: 76 x 55 mm

• Compression Ratio: 13.0:1

• Internal Engineering: Built to win championships. Reworked internal engine designs—from the lightweight crankshaft and optimized pistons to the widened intake and exhaust ports—are engineered to maximize peak high-RPM power while preserving a punchy low-to-mid range for explosive corner exits.

• Valve Actuation: WorldSBK-inspired finger-follower valve actuation. This top-level racing technology minimizes reciprocating mass and enables a higher rev limit alongside more aggressive cam profiles.

• Fuel Induction & Control: Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) utilizing massive 47mm electronic throttle valves paired with a high-speed 32-bit ECU to deliver smooth, microscopic throttle response.

• Cooling Optimization: Features an independent, race-derived air-cooled oil cooler based directly on Kawasaki’s WorldSBK factory machines, stabilizing oil temperatures and maintaining maximum power throughput under heavy loads.

• Exhaust Layout: Lightweight, highly heat-resistant titanium alloy headers and collector pipe, strategically routed to achieve low mass centralization for razor-sharp handling.

Drivetrain & Gearbox

• Transmission: Track-optimized 6-speed, return shift gearbox with ratios closely stacked to keep the engine perfectly in its powerband.

• Quick Shifter (KQS): Dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter enabling seamless, clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Operational on both track and street whenever engine speed climbs above 2,500 rpm.

• Final Drive: Premium sealed chain.

Chassis, Suspension & Aerodynamics

• Frame Architecture: High-rigidity, race-tested aluminum perimeter frame utilizing the engine as a structural stressed member.

• Front Suspension: Advanced 43mm inverted Showa Balance Free Fork (BFF) bringing state-of-the-art WorldSBK damping tech to the street. Features stepless, fully independent rebound and compression damping adjustments alongside spring preload adjustability | Travel: 4.7 in.

• Rear Suspension: Horizontal Back-link configuration utilizing a gas-charged Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion (BFRC) lite shock absorber. Fully adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping, and stepless spring preload | Travel: 4.5 in.

• Chassis Geometry: Rake: 25.0° | Trail: 4.1 in. | Wheelbase: 57.1 in.

• Aerodynamic Package: The front cowl features integrated winglets that generate substantial downforce to keep the front tire planted under hard acceleration. The entire bodywork, paired with a taller windshield, delivers a massive drag reduction when tucked down the straightaways.

• Riding Position: Aggressive, track-focused ergonomics utilizing wide handlebars and high-set footpegs, paired with a low-profile seat height of 32.9 inches.

Brakes, Wheels & Contact Patch

• Front Brakes: Dual massive 330mm semi-floating Brembo discs clamped by dual radial-mount, 4-piston Brembo M-50 cast aluminum monobloc calipers—Brembo’s highest-grade production componentry—backed by KIBS high-precision ABS.

• Rear Brakes: Single 220mm disc gripped by an aluminum single-piston caliper.

• Tires: Ultra-sticky sport radials (Front: 120/70 ZR17 | Rear: 190/55 ZR17) mounted on lightweight alloy wheels.

Dimensions & Capacities

• Overall Length: 82.1 in.

• Overall Width: 29.5 in.

• Overall Height: 46.7 in.

• Ground Clearance: 5.3 in.

• Fuel Capacity: 4.5 gallons

• Curb Weight: 456.4 lbs (Includes all necessary fluids, lubricants, and a 90%+ full tank of fuel)

 Advanced Electronics Suite & Rider Assists

Driven by a high-tech Bosch 6-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that monitors longitudinal, transverse, and vertical acceleration, along with real-time roll and pitch rates to run predictive safety systems:

• Kawasaki Corner Management Function (KCMF): Uses IMU data to modulate braking force and engine power through the apex, assisting riders in effortlessly holding their intended line.

• Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC): Advanced hybrid predictive/feedback traction monitoring featuring 5 selectable modes to perfectly match track conditions and tire grip levels.

• Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM): 3-mode starting system designed to regulate engine output, safely eliminating wheelspin and front-wheel lift for perfect hole-shots.

• Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS): Multi-sensing, supersport-grade ABS that minimizes pitch tendencies during heavy track-speed trail-braking.

• Kawasaki Engine Brake Control (KEBC): Allows the rider to customize the exact amount of electronic engine deceleration drag based on personal riding preference.

• Integrated Riding Modes: Quickly switch between Sport, Road, and Rain settings to instantly unify traction control and Power Modes (Full/Middle/Low) to changing asphalt conditions, plus 4 customizable manual modes.

• Premium Cockpit & Infotainment: 4.3-inch Full-Color TFT digital display panel with selectable black/white backgrounds and automatic ambient brightness adjustment. Features an Economical Riding Indicator, boost telemetry, and Bluetooth® Smartphone Connectivity via RIDEOLOGY THE APP to track vehicle logs and system diagnostics.

• Electronic Cruise Control: Standard factory equipment allowing you to lock in highway cruising speeds with the simple push of a handlebar button.

⚠️ A limited heritage edition like this will not stay in inventory. This 40th Anniversary ZX-10R features a legendary livery, incredible WorldSBK technology, and sits in pristine condition with low mileage.
