Kawasaki is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of its Ninja range of fully-faired sports bikes by introducing multiple special edition models under this sub-brand. The latest to join the list is the Ninja ZX-10RR Performance Special Edition which has made its debut in the United Kingdom.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR Anniversary Edition: What’s new?
Limited to only 40 units, each of these special edition units carry an anniversary plaque mounted on the top yoke, reading a unique number, along with the 40th Anniversary Kawasaki logo. There are no significant changes on this Performance Edition of Ninja ZX-10RR other than the swanky new colour schemes on offer.
Overall, there are three paint schemes on offer with this new Performance Special Edition of Ninja ZX-10RR including a dual-tone shade– Metallic Eventide with Ebony, and two triple-tone paint schemes— Lime Green with Pearly Alpine White and Sunbeam Red, and Pearly Alpine White and Blue 36. The difference between the two colour schemes is that the latter gets a Blue 36 shade instead of Sunbeam Red.
Among all colour options, two options flaunt green colour as the base while the third option gets white as the base shade. Of the three options, the Metallic Eventide is the most radical one. It may also come off as a bit polarising to some.people. Other visual highlights include an Akrapovic exhaust and other cosmetic components such as a matching pillion seat cover, smoked visor, and a tank pad.
