For many experienced motorcyclists, the most satisfying ride day consists of having incredible horsepower on tap at any rpm and a stable, comfortable chassis for leaning into long, sweeping turns of a seldom-traveled mountain road. For these riders, only an open class sportbike can provide this thrill and contentment, and none do it better than Kawasaki's flagship sportbike, the NINJA® ZX-12R.
For 2004, the ZX-12R's power delivery is further improved with the addition of sub throttles to the fuel injection system, and new radial-mounted front disc brakes enhance braking feel.
Cycle World magazine said of the NINJA ZX-12R: "Kawasaki's open-class sportbike combines brute muscle with a responsive, solid-handling chassis. Whether you're staring down a dragstrip or carving along a twisty mountain road, the big Ninja's tractable power and raw acceleration can blur the landscape like few other machines can."
