Championship-proven dominance, straight from the global track. The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R KRT Edition is the direct result of decades of world-class road racing innovation. Carrying the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) to six consecutive FIM WorldSBK Championship titles, this machine doesn’t just chase performance—it defines it. It offers a race-optimized chassis, a potent powerplant, and a highly advanced electronics package built for those who rise to the challenge.

Drenched in the official Lime Green / Ebony / Pearl Blizzard White racing graphics, this pristine, pre-owned superbike has logged just 4,870 miles. It is fully dialed in, meticulously maintained, and ready to shred the track or command the streets.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications & Mechanical Metrics

Championship-Proven Power & Engine

• 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 with direct feedback from Kawasaki’s WorldSBK race machine. Internal components—including a lightweight crankshaft, optimized pistons, and wide intake/exhaust ports—are designed to maximize peak high-RPM power while preserving a punchy low-to-mid range for explosive corner exits.

• Valve Train Tech: Finger-follower valve actuation represents top-level racing technology inspired by Kawasaki’s WorldSBK engineers. It enables a higher rev limit and more aggressive cam profiles for maximum high-RPM performance.

• Fuel Induction & Control: Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) utilizing four 47mm Mikuni electronic throttle valves paired with oval sub-throttles and a high-speed 32-bit ECU to operate with great precision and provide smooth engine response. Features two injectors per cylinder.

• Cooling Optimization: Features an independent, race-derived air-cooled oil cooler to drastically increase cooling performance and ensure strong, stable engine output across all RPM levels.

• Exhaust Layout: Lightweight, highly heat-resistant titanium alloy exhaust system positioned to create a low center of gravity for effective mass centralization and light handling.

Drivetrain & Gearbox

• Transmission: Track-optimized 6-speed, return shift gearbox with ratios closely stacked for quick low-to-mid range acceleration.

• Quick Shifter (KQS): Dual-direction Kawasaki Quick Shifter enabling seamless, clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Designed for more effective sport riding on the track, it can also be used on the street when engine speeds climb above 2,500 rpm.

• Final Drive: Premium sealed chain.

• Ignition: TCBI with digital advance and Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC).

Chassis, Suspension & Aerodynamics

• Frame Architecture: High-rigidity twin-spar 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 racing suspension technology to a mass-production supersport. Features independent, stepless 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. Features stepless, dual-range (low-/high-speed) compression damping, stepless rebound damping, and fully adjustable spring preload | Travel: 4.5 in.

• Chassis Geometry: Rake: 25.0° | Trail: 4.2 in. | Wheelbase: 57.1 in.

• Form Meets Function Aero: Every body lines is engineered for maximum aerodynamic performance. The upper cowl and windshield offer a significant drag reduction, while the integrated upper cowl winglets generate substantial downforce to keep the front tire grounded.

• A Winning Position: Wide handlebars and relatively high footpeg locations offer an aggressive riding position, while the low-profile seat design helps riders minimize drag on straightaways when tucked behind the taller windshield (Seat Height: 32.9 in.).

Brakes, Wheels & Contact Patch

• Front Brakes: Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System (KIBS) high-precision ABS backing dual Brembo semi-floating 330mm discs clamped by dual radial-mount Brembo M-50 cast aluminum monobloc calipers—Brembo’s highest grade mass-production brake calipers for superb braking force and control feel.

• Rear Brakes: KIBS-controlled ABS with a single 220mm disc gripped by an aluminum single-piston caliper and an optimized, repositioned rear brake reservoir.

• Tires: High-performance sport radials (Front: 120/70 ZR17 | Rear: 190/55 ZR17).

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 highly advanced, compact Bosch 6-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that monitors inertia along 6 Degrees of Freedom—measuring longitudinal, transverse, and vertical acceleration along with real-time roll and pitch rates to provide predictive and adaptive chassis orientation awareness:

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

• Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC): Hybrid predictive/feedback traction monitoring featuring 5 selectable modes to maximize acceleration and push harder on specific track conditions.

• Kawasaki Launch Control Mode (KLCM): 3-mode starting system designed to regulate engine output from a stop, minimizing wheelspin and front-wheel lift off the starting line.

• Kawasaki Engine Brake Control (KEBC): Allows the rider to set electronic engine braking deceleration drag according to personal preference.

• Refined Power Modes: Three selectable power delivery modes (Full / Middle / Low) to suit asphalt conditions or rider comfort.

• Integrated Riding Modes: Instantly links Traction Control (KTRC) and Power Modes. Sport Mode enables sporty track or back-road riding; Road Mode covers a wide range of typical riding situations; Rain Mode delivers reassurance over wet surfaces; 4 Manual Modes allow custom rider parameter combinations.

• Premium Cockpit & Infotainment: All-digital TFT color instrumentation gives the cockpit a high-tech appearance. Background color is selectable (black or white) and brightness adjusts automatically to ambient light. Display includes a digital speedometer, gear indicator, upshift indicator, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, cruising distance, fuel consumption telemetry, outside/water temperature, clock, economical riding indicator, boost pressure, and boost temperature.

• Bluetooth® Smartphone Connectivity: Pairs via RIDEOLOGY THE APP to let you view vehicle info, review your riding log, receive phone notifications, and adjust general settings from your phone when parked safely.

• Electronic Cruise Control: Standard factory equipment allowing you to lock in a desired speed with the simple press of a handlebar button.

⚠️ Championship pedigree doesn’t stick around. This 2022 KRT Edition Ninja ZX-10R features incredibly low mileage, immaculate factory graphics, and WorldSBK racing engineering priced to move immediately.
