Amazing Bike
It's a Comfortable motorcycle with exquisite power, and it will give you the confidence to ride more and more hard. Although it's difficult for tall riders at around 830mm, once you take it into the open road, the feeling just melts into the experience of the ride.

Review of kawasaki ninja
Bike's design is outstanding. But the comfort is little bit compromised here. And avarage is good as per bike's performance. Bike also has good amount of features and as per the price maintenance is also little bit costly but it's justified because it's World's one of the finest bike made. Overall this bike is superb

This ZX-10R is a BEAST
This ZX-10R is something else. I buy it few months back and since then, every ride is just crazy. The power is too much, like full beast. You just twist the throttle and boom, it goes like rocket. Not a bike for timepass or beginner, this is serious machine. Handling also very good. It takes turns so smooth, feel like it’s stuck to road. Even on high speed, no shaking or anything. Very stable. It got all those high tech stuff — traction control, quick shifter, modes and all that. Help a lot when you ride fast.Looks also damn good, very sharp and sporty. People keep watching when I stop at signal. That front look is just killer. Screen is nice and all features are working smooth.
