ZX10R news

Stories from the track and the paddock, newest first.

  1. ZX10R.co.uk members win TWO magazine's Turf Wars

    OK, we know it's a bit late, but here it is at last. ZX10R.co.uk was asked to provide some hairy-backed hard nuts for TWO magazine, to see which sports bike owners ruled the roost. Here's one of our riders on the two days we spent with TWO.

    The ZX10R is king of the litre sports bikes. Official! On 11 August, TWO magazine invited ZX10R riders to step up to the Turf Wars challenge, to see which of the four Japanese 1000cc machines (R1s, GSX-R1000s, Blades and ZX10Rs) and their riders would be crowned kings. Not only did we have a chance to win, we got ourselves into a monthly motorcycle publication. Twice!

    The challenges were hilarious, ranging from running up hills and press-ups in full riding kit to general knowledge questions. Oh, and eating cheesecake while wearing a helmet and gloves. GRNINJA rounded up members to take on the GSX-R1000 lads, as the R1s had already been knocked out by the Blades. After the heroic efforts of GRNINJA and his team, we thrashed the Gixxers to reach the final at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground on 8 October.

    We were up against the Blades for this one, and such was the turnout in support of ZX10R.co.uk that we outnumbered them nearly two to one. Wheelies, top-speed runs, drag races and knee-downs (plus the running and eating challenges) were a walk in the park. Our riding spoke for itself and we were crowned Kings of the Turf Wars.

    We're proud of what our members achieved that day, not only for the ZX10R but, most importantly, for this community.

  2. Silverstone GP with Focus Events

    We did another track day with Focus Events, this time on the Silverstone GP circuit. Finally we could open the legs of the ZX10R, and with the huge Hangar Straight and wide bends there was plenty of speed to carry around the track. So much fun was had that we're back at Silverstone on 23 August. Here are a couple of member photos.

  3. Our first club track day at Mallory Park

    It's been a while since we had news, so here goes. We had our first track day together and all in all it was a great day, with a 50th birthday celebration and good fun all round. There were a few unfortunate offs, but nothing major, and everyone involved walked away with nothing worse than bumps and bruises.

    Focus Events at Mallory was well organised and gave us maximum track time: seven 20-minute sessions per group. We got some good video and stills, which will be available to everyone involved shortly. Here's to the next one at Silverstone.

Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Built beyond belief

The Ninja H2R hypersport motorcycle is an engineering marvel, made possible by pooling expertise from several divisions of Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The result is a system of carefully crafted premium components working in concert to create an unbelievably powerful machine, more than worthy of the legendary H2 name.

Spec sheet
EngineAll-new 998cc in-line four, built to endure the stress of supercharging. Lightweight cast pistons and a flat piston crown, inspired by KHI gas turbine technology, help prevent knock.
SuperchargerIn-house centrifugal design, compressing air to up to 2.4× atmospheric pressure while creating so little heat that no intercooler is needed.
Impeller3D-machined from forged aluminium, spinning at 9.2× crankshaft speed (nearly 130,000 rpm) and pushing over 200 litres of air per second.
DriveCompact planetary gear developed with KHI's Aerospace Company, driving the impeller via a step-up gear.
SuspensionKYB AOS-II air-oil-separate cartridge fork (its first use on asphalt), fully adjustable for compression, rebound and preload. Fully adjustable KYB shock with Uni-Trak linkage.
BrakesTwin 330mm Brembo semi-floating discs with radial-mount Brembo monobloc calipers. 250mm rear disc.
Wheels and tyresStar-pattern five-spoke cast aluminium wheels, developed with Kawasaki's World Superbike team, on Bridgestone Battlax racing slicks.
FrameHigh-tensile steel trellis, balancing stiffness and flex, with an open design for better heat dissipation.
ElectronicsKawasaki Traction Control with three modes of three levels each, three-mode Kawasaki Launch Control, and an Öhlins electronic steering damper that firms up as speed rises.
Lighting and displayLED tail and position lamps. Full LED dash with lap timer, boost indicator, coolant and intake temperatures and gear position.

Mirror-coated black paint

A Kawasaki first for any mass-production vehicle. A layer of pure silver, formed by chemical reaction, sits within a multi-layer finish applied by skilled craftsmen. In shade it looks deep and three-dimensional; in sun it turns brilliant metallic.

Intense Force bodywork

Functional beauty. Every angle, from the carbon-fibre wings to the trellis frame and front fender, is designed to add performance as well as style.

The River Mark

Reserved for models of historical significance, Kawasaki's River Mark dates back to the earliest days of KHI and was used on select 1960s motorcycles. It sits proudly on the H2R's front cowl.
