2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR

Hey there!
I was always a sucker for Kawa's ZX 6R...well, "his" time will come on this blog...right now, I'd rather write about this super-superbike! The 2007 Kawasaki Ninja ZX RR. The Ninja ZX-RR is Kawasaki's race bike built for the MotoGP series.
The Ninja ZX-RR was Kawasaki's first MotoGP machine equipped with a 4-stroke engine, and after overcoming initial teething problems, began to show its potential. With the addition of rider Shinya Nakano
in 2004, the team kept improving and became capable of challenging the top teams for race honors. Nakano rode the lime-green, 990cc-engined machine to a second place podium finish at Round 8 in the Netherlands for his best finish of the 2006 MotoGP season.
It's just an awesome motorcycle, but I really don't want to pay for the insurance on all those cool racing parts...of course, it's a racing bike and the insurance is the least important fact. WHat really matters are the folowing facts...the technical specs...this is one of the fastest bikes I ever posted about on my blog...and I'm proud of it. I would love to just hear its "roar" on a race-day, not to mention that I would like to ride one...to own one. But besides the fact that it costs more than your mortgage...and that you must get a loan to buy one...(that, unless you're a rich spoiled kid, with fat, rich parents...or plain rich...) it's not available in a street fashion. Unless you can get your hands on a full-racing one...you'll just watch it on MotoGP.

Next on...the technical specs...check it out!
