Kawasaki Kawasaki Motorcycle How about foreign brand introduction

推荐型号:Ninja H2、ZX-10R、Ninja 300
 
Kawasaki Heavy Industries was founded during the Meiji Restoration and is one of Japan's most important heavy industry companies. Kawasaki had already built Japan's first domestically produced submarine in 1906, and during World War II, it also provided the Japanese army with military equipment such as the Feiyan fighter, the Type 5 fighter, and the Type 1 transport aircraft, and built the famous battleship Haruna and many aircraft carriers such as the Kaga. At present, Kawasaki's business scope has included various fields such as land, sea, air and aerospace, and its industrial strength is very impressive.
 
Kawasaki competed in the Moto GP from 2002 to 2008 but had dismal results and then stopped racing, and his best result in MXGP was only second, but with the ZX-10R, Kawasaki won back-to-back WSBK titles in 2013, 2015 and 2016. WSBK is different from Moto GP, Moto GP uses each brand's factory car, although it reflects the brand's highest technology, but the cost is extremely high and the production is limited, while WSBK stipulates that the production car needs to be modified, which can be participated, which is closer to practicality.
 
Kawasaki's reputation comes from the production cars, and the Ninja and ZX, which are the leading companies, are well-known series. When the ZX-11R was released, it vowed to win the throne of "the fastest mass-produced" and dominated the entire 90s, and it was not until 1999 that Suzuki launched the GSX-1300R (Falcon), and the ZX-11R had a comparable rival. The 2016 ZX-14R is the "fastest self-priming production car" today, priced at $15,499, lower than Honda's CBR1000RR, but it has a displacement of 1441cc and 200 horsepower, and is equipped with Ohlins TTX39 rear shock with a unit price of more than 10,000 yuan, Brembo four-piston calipers and floating brake discs of the same specification as H2.
 
But when it comes to the next game, it's definitely the ZX-10R. In Ram-Mode calculation, ZX-10R can reach 210 horsepower, look at the configuration table you can find that ZX-10R is directly benchmarked against Yamaha's R1, also equipped with IMU dynamic monitoring system and rear wheel tracking system at the same time, ZX-10R has increased the Kawasaki SBK factory team and SHOWA jointly developed nitrogen cylinder external shock absorber, coupled with the blessing of the WSBK two-time champion, SBK technology decentralization is more practical than Moto GP technology, It undoubtedly adds a large number of fans to the ZX-10R. The ABS-equipped ZX-10R is priced at $16,399 and comes standard with one-way quick shifts, while the 500-unit ZX-10RR will feature two-way quick shifts and will be available in the 2017 WSBK.
 
The fastest self-priming ZX-14R, WSBK two consecutive championships ZX-10R, the next thing to talk about, is Kawasaki's treasure of the town, the king of machine growth Ninja H2. Ninja H2 is also called ZX1000N, but H2 is too loud to be counted as a separate series. Kawasaki Group has combined aeronautical and other related mechanical technologies to re-transplant the supercharged to the motorcycle, and the H2's straight-four engine can easily exceed 300 horsepower after supercharging. Taking into account the safety regulations and actual road conditions of various countries, Kawasaki divided the H2 into two models, namely the track version of the H2R and the street version of the H2, the track version of the H2R has a supercharged horsepower of 310 hp, and it only takes 26 seconds to break the speed of 400 mph, which is very easy, while the street version of the H2 is limited to only a "meas" 210 horsepower.
 
In order to cope with the intense pressure of supercharging, the H2 engine and its components are 1.5 to 2 times stiffer than the naturally aspirated engine, and the gearbox is also equipped with F1 dog-ring gears. The H2 is not only the first time that Kawasaki has used a single wisharm, but also the first time that a braided frame has been installed on a high-performance imitation race, and it is also rare to use different brands in the front and rear suspension, the front suspension adopts the AOS-II oil-oil separation fork developed by KYB, the rear suspension uses Ohlins TTX36, and the braking uses Brembo M50 integrated calipers, and Brembo special floating brake discs with 5.5mm heat slots. In terms of selling price, the H2 is $28,000 and the H2R is $55,000.
 
"Kawasaki does not have a small displacement" is a relative fact, although there is no civilian displacement like 125cc, but there are also entry-level small displacement sports cars such as the "Little Ninja" Ninja 300, the 296cc displacement provides 39 horsepower, horsepower is similar to the Honda CRB250RR, and the appearance of the ZX-R gives the 300 a heavy machine feeling, combined with the ZX-10R windshield and ZX-6R dual headlights, the appearance is still very attractive, priced at $5499.
