  • Open-class superbikes are the ultimate representation of technical excellence. Each is built with everything needed to strive for the perfect lap time and nothing it doesn’t. They’re raw yet refined. It’s a category where manufacturers combine mass horsepower with knife-edge handling and top-tier electronics, then cut them loose to mere mortals as road-legal machines.
    --
    The 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is at the forefront of superbike technology, as its six-consecutive World Superbike championships titles prove. But in an effort to evolve and make the Ninja easier to ride fast for all consumers, Team Green provided the 2021 model a list of evolutional updates.
    In this episode of MC Commute, we sample the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R at Southern California’s Auto Club Speedway as part of its official US press introduction. The technical 2.4-mile, 21-turn layout offered a chance to put every aspect of the Ninja to the test via a blend of high-speed straightaways, challenging braking zones, and quick side-to-side transitions. Bridgestone Battlax V02 racing slicks were fitted to the Ninja, signaling Team Green’s intent.

    I'm in agreement for less things being labeled "MC Commute." Gets confusing.

      folks in London, UK commute in their giant 4x4's 100 metres down the road to get toast bread, so i guess these days a "commute" means different things for different people. . .

  • @doctordennis69
    @doctordennis69 2 роки тому +2

    Although I'm more of a Suzuki guy, I've always liked the Kawasaki Ninja. Anyway, can someone please tell me if the proper name of this bike is "ZX" or "ZenX"? I hear this bike being called the "ZenX" all the time and it's always confusing to me. Is it sorta like how the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is called the "Gixxer?" Thanks in advance, all.

    • @doctordennis69
      @doctordennis69 2 роки тому +1

      So, I researched the British alphabet on UA-cam and the letter "Z" is pronounced "Zed". So I think the term is "ZedX" which still sounds like "ZenX" when people call it that, regardless of where they're from.
