Kawasaki India has launched the 2018 version of the ZX-10R and ZX-10RR in the country. And while most of you may think that, being a Kawasaki, both superbikes will cost an absurd amount of money, that’s not the case, thankfully! Well, that’s because both motorcycles are now assembled at Kawasaki’s Chakan facility, helping the company reduce the cost of the two bikes by a significant margin. By how much, you ask? Well, with a revised price tag of Rs 12.8 lakh for the ZX-10R and Rs 16.1 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the ZX-10RR, they are now more affordable by Rs 6 lakh and Rs 5.8 lakh, respectively. The new price tag also makes the ZX-10R the most affordable litre-class superbike you can buy in the country.
However, there’s a catch. Kawasaki says these prices are valid until July end. It even added that we should expect the prices to become “significantly higher” post that. The manufacturer even stated that there will be fewer units of the track-focused ZX-10RR when compared to the ZX-10R. All 30 Kawasaki dealerships across the country have started accepting bookings for both the bikes, so hurry up before they run out of stock! After all, Kawasaki says it will close bookings once every single unit is allocated.
As for the bikes themselves, the Ninja ZX-10R now comes in the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) livery along with subtle graphic updates, while the ZX-10RR comes in an all-black colour scheme.
Both the bikes share the 998cc liquid-cooled, inline-four motor that churns out a max power of 200PS at 13,000rpm with peak torque of 113.5Nm at 11,500rpm. In terms of electronics, the ZX-10R gets launch control, comes with three power modes, five stage traction control, a quick shifter, a Bosch inertial measurement unit (IMU), Kawasaki's corner management function (KCMF). But that not all, the ZX-10RR gets carbon-coated tappets, a stronger crankcase,
Over the ZX-10R, the RR version gets a fully-adjustable 43mm Showa balance free front fork with a horizontal back-link and gas-charged monoshock and a Marschini 7-spoke forged alloy wheels. Whats more! I even gets Brembo M50 monoblock calipers. ABS is standard on both variants.
At this price, overtaking the Honda CBR1000RR, the Kawasaki ZX-10R becomes the most affordable litre-class offering with a price tag of Rs 14.78 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Still it was an pleasant experience, that I am able to somewhat able to control the beast of a H2. Still I Loved every moment with ZX10r . If it's in your bought or your dream bike then go ahead and buy it. But if you don't have the budget then just buy an R3 or 300 that will be good enough for most common riders. Take care, peace out.Read More
