Kawasaki Ninja ZX9R

In reaction to Honda’s release of the CBR900RR Fireblade for the 1992 model year, Kawasaki created the Ninja ZX-9R model. Large-capacity Japanese sporting bikes had been polarized before to the introduction of the Fireblade. On one side, there were the 750cc sport bikes, which were influenced by Endurance racing and the World Superbike Championship. On the other hand, the “big-bore” 1,000 cc-plus sports-tourers had evolved naturally from the performance bikes of the previous 20 years.

In a nutshell, the 750s had the handling, while the big-bores had the power. Kawasaki dominated in both categories. The ZXR750 offered the technology and performance of ultra-expensive racing-homologation models from Honda and Yamaha for half the price, and it outperformed the similarly priced GSX-R750 of the time, which still featured a perimeter frame and an oil-cooled engine, while the ZZ-R1100 was the fastest production motorcycle on the planet.

The Fireblade was built around a 900cc engine and a 750cc sport bike frame. It blended big-bore power with sport bike maneuverability, but more importantly, it was the first to pay close attention to weight-saving design. The Fireblade not only outperformed the 750s in terms of power, but it was also substantially lighter. When Kawasaki set out to construct their Fireblade-beater, they ignored or underrated this feature. Rather than commit to an altogether new design, Kawasaki blended their class-leading big-bore, the ZZR1100, with their class-leading 750, the ZXR750, to create the first ZX-9R.

The result was a large motorbike; despite weight-saving techniques like as magnesium engine covers, its claimed dry weight was 215 kg (474 lb), over 30 kg (66 lb) more than the Fireblade. It produced roughly 125 horsepower (93 kW), which was between 10 and 15 hp (11 kW) more than the Fireblade, but this power advantage did not compensate for its size, weight, and inferior agility. Instead of being a direct competition, the ZX-9R was kept as a more stable and pleasant alternative to the Honda, with higher straight-line speed. The higher clipons and more upright sitting placements indicate a road-going orientation.

Models history

ZX900B (1994) and ZX900B2 (1995)

The original ZX-9R might be thought of as a ZXR750 with ZZ-R1100 design elements. The wheels (3.5-inch x 17-inch front and 5.5-inch x 17-inch rear), front forks (completely adjustable 43 mm upside-down KYB), and unbraced fabricated aluminium box-section swingarm with fully adjustable remote-reservoir KYB monoshock were all straight carryovers from the ZXR. The twin-piston rear Tokico caliper is no longer attached via a torque arm, and the clip-on handlebars are located above, rather than below, the top triple clamp. The ZZ-R and ZXR shared four-piston Tokico front calipers and 320 mm front discs.

Like the ZZ-R1100, the frame was a welded aluminum-alloy dual-beam with cast steering head and swingarm endplates, but with steel-tube engine cradles and swingarm-mount endplates extending back to support the rider’s seat and attach the bolt-on subframe.

The engine had a displacement of 899 cc. The crankcases, clutch, and gearbox were carried over from the ZXR750, but with a longer-throw crank and a larger-bore, taller cylinder block to accommodate the increased capacity. The cylinder head was outwardly quite similar to the ZXR, however it used rocker valve actuation like the ZZ-R1100 instead of direct actuation like the ZXR. Redline was 12,000 rpm vs 10,500 rpm for the Fireblades. The engine breathed through a 10-litre airbox supplied by dual ram-air intakes on the nose of the bike, beneath the single headlight, through ducts flowing back and over the frame beams near the steering head, similar to the ZZ-R.

ZX900B3 (1996) and ZX900B4 (1997)

Changes in the details. The power was raised from 139 to 141 horsepower (105 kW). The rear suspension linkage and spring rate were modified, resulting in improved handling. Pillion grab rails were added, the gearboxes were strengthened, and new six-piston Tokico front calipers replaced the four-piston units from the previous model. The bike’s weight climbed to 241.7 kg (533 lb).

Kawasaki Ninja ZX12R

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R is a motorbike of Kawasaki‘s Ninja sport bike series that was produced from 2000 to 2006. The 1,199 cc (73.2 cu in) inline-four engine generated 178 horsepower (133 kW) at low speed and grew to 190 hp (140 kW) at high speed owing to the ram-air intake, making it the most powerful production motorcycle until the debut of the ZX-14 in 2006. It was a candidate for the fastest production motorbike, and it helped to bring the rising competition to design an ever-faster motorcycle to a halt.

Its top speed was electronically limited to 186 mph (300 km/h), tying it with the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 as the fastest production motorcycle on the market after the 303–312 km/h (188–194 mph) 1999 Hayabusa was replaced with a speed-limited version as part of a gentlemen’s agreement between motorcycle manufacturers that lasted until the 2007 MV Agusta F4 R 312.

Normally, the 1,200 cc Kawasaki sportbike was known as the ZZ-R1200 in certain areas and the ZX-12R in others, but the ZX-12R simply had one moniker. This scheme was used by the Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 touring motorbike from 2002 to 2005, which was known as either the ZZ-R1200 or the ZX-12C. The R designation was given to the ZX-12R after the race-replica Kawasaki ZX-6R, ZX-7R, ZX-9R, and ZX-10R.

Models history

The 2002 model saw 140 revisions. While some of the improvements, such as a stronger crankshaft, redesigned flywheel, and fuel programming tweaks, made the bike simpler to launch. It had 1.3 horsepower (0.97 kW) less than the 162.7 hp (121.3 kW) of the 2000 and 2001 versions. It had a new suspension system that included firmer front fork springs and a softer rear shock spring. Cosmetic alterations were made to the front fender, and panels were added to the inner fairing below the instruments and bars. The centrally situated ram-air intake scoop projecting from the fairing was redesigned to take advantage of the increased front air pressure. This intake is fitted into a bigger and shorter front cowling from Kawasaki Aerospace Company, cutting the drag coefficient from 33 to 32 points. The most recent upgrade occurred in 2004, when radial brakes and other fuel injection adjustments were added. The ZX-12R was withdrawn in 2006, and it was replaced by the 2006 ZX-14 (ZZR1400), which used a similar monocoque frame.
