A long face echoes the latest trend Kawa, already discovered with the Z1000, and reinterprets the concept, offering no more than a front for originality (the middle slot with two symmetric projectors is not surprising no one), but definitely interesting for edges and proportions. Below it grow back the flaps on the hull, a distinctive feature of the dear old Ducati 999/748.
The central part is something for the now classic super Akashi, a tank with soft lines, this time even bigger thanks to the frame that runs covering the lower block of 4-in-line. This should mean the real change of direction for version Superbike poor performance is fierce because of the dynamic characteristics of the frame.
Moving toward the rear are characterized by a particular codon position indicators integrated, while the rest does not tell many new features, from the lighthouse to the discharge and short stubby right. The real and we see the brand new Ninja once the green barrier, adjacent to the black chassis.
The front fork is a Showa Big Piston, the latest technology of the Japanese. The braking system employs discs wave close to radial calipers. The asymmetrical swingarm is a true piece of art, very long and massive, moving a single horizontally positioned under the driver’s seat. The three-spoke wheels are fine, as the Japanese have always proposed in recent years.
Change a lot compared to the current version, including the driving position, almost more roads. In fact, the seat goes from 830mm to 812, the platforms move forward slightly (35mm) handlebars and reduce inclination. A fully digital instrumentation stands behind the windshield, really full and beautiful to see, with the scale of speed in different colors.
The motor does not change in displacement, and the 998cc liquid-cooled 4-cylinder units receive different once you leave the pistons. The valves can extend 1mm and throttle bodies increased from 43 to 47mm, the airbox increases by 1 liter. The change will be removable with a particular system that forces you to drain the oil. The value of power is said to 200hp at 13,000 rpm, as above, but torque increased from 113Nm to the current 114.3 Nm, moving higher (from 8,700 to 11,500 rpm).
The address is dominant. The engine management system has three different mappings: Full, Medium and Low operating power until it decreases (in the case of the Low) by 53%. The map will vary, the average power supplied to the second opening of the butterfly and how open the throttle. The traction control made in Akashi is called S-KTRC and is designed not to encroach too much during track driving, a TC very athletic, in fact. The ABS is also racing and working in contact with the control unit to prevent the elevation of the rear under braking.
Kawasaki says that the weight is 10kg less than its predecessor, offering a bike shorter, more comfortable and, on paper, more manageable, particularly with cycling and finest in racing. The price should not move from the values of competition 15/16.000 € for a technological gem to break the bank created the World Superbike Championship. The aesthetic is proving quite radical, there are positive and negative comments but no one shows indifference. One sign of strong character.
