The ZX9R Ninja is one of the most exciting rides around. this is mainly because of it?ˆ™s very lively and entertaining power delivery.

The 899cc donk is of an oversquare design allowing for big valves while providing a short stroke which in turn helps to reduce piston speeds. and increase engine longevity.   

Kawasaki. the masters?ˆ™ of ram-air. have endowed the ZX9R with two ducts under the single lens headlight which feed cool air to the pressurized (at speed) airbox.   

The brilliance of Kawasaki?ˆ™s ram-air system is demonstrated by virtue of the fact that even though R1?ˆ?s normally show a couple more horsepower on the dyno?ˆ™. the ZX9 tops the R1 by a few kph in timed top speed runs.  

The quartet of Keihin CVKD 40mm carburettors feature a Kawasaki Throttle Response Ignition Control (K-TRIC) throttle position sensor which adjusts ignition timing for all throttle settings.   Throttle response is very good. but not outstanding.

8500 rpm is the start of the sweet spot. nbsp; it maybe a factor of the ram-air. but at 8500 rpm things take a definite trip on the wild side.

The ignition system uses compact. plug mounted ignition coils.   In other weight saving endeavours Kawasaki have made recyclable magnesium covers for the cam. clutch. generator. pulser and drive sprocket.

A brushed titanium muffler caps the four-into-one exhaust system.   The bike is reasonably light (183 kilos dry ?ˆ“ 211 kilos wet) but does not feel as light as say a GSX-R 600 which is only a few kilos lighter. but then again it feels nowhere as heavy as a TL1000R.

Aluminium triple clamps secure the 46mm. predictable and fairly compliant. conventional forks. The rear shock copes admirably when trying to put the power through to the rear tyre. high speed bumps don?ˆ™t seem to unsettle the rear at all. but the front does become very light.   However. it never seems to get out of hand and is predictable.

 The front brakes consist of 296mm discs clamped by powerful six-piston calipers.   Out back a 220mm rear rotor is employed.   The brakes have great bite with no fade.  

Clutch take-up is good and progressive.   The gearbox is very smooth. only giving a false neutral when you are bit too limp with your shifts.  

Instrumentation is quite good ?ˆ“ an electronic speedometer/odometer is driven by sensors located on the countershaft sprocket nut (so you know how fast your wheelies are). electric tachometer. LCD clock (oh yeah !). odometer. trip meter. and coolant temperature gauge with LED warning light.

Quality of finish is good.
