2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R to come in white for new year

2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R white - 1

Perhaps the ultimate high-tech superbike on the planet at the moment, the 2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R will be updated with a new colour for the coming year. Clad in Pearl Blizzard White/ Metallic Raw Flat Titanium, the new colours also carry some minor changes in the graphics.

Also changed is the colour for the gas cylinder on the Showa Balance Free Fork (BFF), which sports a shade of anodised green. The current Kawasaki ZX-10R comes in Lime Green/Ebony KRT Replica, which are pretty much its official racing team’s colours. The new colour is likely to make its appearance in Malaysia next year.

The Kawasaki ZX-10R comes with a 998 cc, four-cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled power plant that produces 197 hp as standard, with 204 hp kicking in with Ram-Air. Closely developed with Kawasaki’s World Superbike team, the ZX-10R comes with Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC), Kawasaki Intelligent Braking (KIBS) and a host of electronic riding aids.

Outgoing for 2017 will be the Winter Test version of the ZX-10R, which came in a very attractive shade of matte-black. The 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R retails in Malaysia for RM104,859 including GST, excluding registration, road-tax and insurance.

  • I thought the S1000RR is the most high tech bike. The Kawi doesn’t even have cluthless downshifts & cruise control

      why a superbike designed for racing needs a cruise control?

      Kawasaki is the most high tech because they have proven it in the WSBK championship as the runaway leader. every single component is designed and worked cohesively for a single purpose, that’s to go faster then everyone else. those Mickey Mouse features such as a cruise control contribute nothing but to add weight and potential electronics complications.

        Well Said …. perfect response to the Clown who wants Cruise on a Sports Bike …. I own an earlier model ZX10R for blasting over the Breacon Beacons and a BMW K16OO for my European Tours and its fitted with Cruise and Heated grips n seats ….. Horses for Courses.
