2012 Kawasaki Ninja 150RR Facelift

Well, here we go the all new 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 150RR or also called ZX-150KRR. This sport-bike reportedly will be present in early of 2012. For your information, I have written about this news here (2012 Kawasaki Ninja 150RR), and it's looks will be the real New Ninja 150RR species, but there is no engine changed, it's still used same engine (150cc, 2 stroke, Super KIPs, 6 speed transmission) but the real changed comes to the design and body fairing, Kawasaki seemly want to change the old Ninja 150RR style with the new one.


As from news from motorplus.otomotifnet.com, the all new 2012 Ninja 150RR 2 stroke will ready to the market in early of 2012, it's first special for Indonesian market and I don't know is this new Ninja 150 series will also release to the another Asia market such as Malaysia, Thailand, and others in the same time or not. The new Ninja RR will comes with new stylish fairing, sharper body style than older series, new strong character of display, and the disc brake will come like Ninja 250R style/type.

As you can see on the image of new 2012 Ninja 150RR above, this 2-stroke sportbike from Kawasaki looks like Ninja 250R design, it's wider than older Ninja 150RR and the headlamp is almost the same with Ninja 250. Kawasaki hope that the all new Ninja 150RR price will not more expensive than 2011 Ninja 150RR, the price may change but looks not so far as older price.

Actually, Kawasaki has released the Kawasaki 150RR facelift in a few fast months ago, you can read here (Ninja 150RR facelift), but it's not enough to boost Ninja RR appearance, it's only has rear design changed, and not many changed on other side. New 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 150RR is the real answer for it, so if you want to buy Ninja 150RR, you should better wait and keep patience because the all new edition of Ninja RR will available in the next year. See ya and keep safety ride guys.

2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000RR

When the Ninja 1000 debuted last year, Kawasaki regained a stronghold on the open class of comfortable sportbikes.
The Ninja 1000, which featured the frame and engine of its naked-brother, the Z1000, but arrived with full sportbike fairings, was immediately praised by the media. This helped propel the Ninja 1000 to the top-selling list at dealerships across the nation.
Much of the praise came from the do-it-all streetbike's rideability paired with race-bike technology. And for 2012, there will likely be more praise - not much has changed on the Ninja 1000, which is available with optional ABS.
Kawasaki says "Here's a sportbike that delivers an aesthetic uppercut the instant you lay eyes on it - and then follows up the punch with brilliant all-around performance you'll quickly learn to love."
Kawasaki's formula for the Ninja 1000 is simple - take the already comfortable and powerful chassis/engine of the Z1000, and add some stylish bodywork. That's it. And the resulting product is a machine that is capable of any type of sport riding.
And the Z1000 was designed with ZX-10R aspects in mind. The 1043cc DOHC inline-four features 16 valves and a long stroke, which helps provide instant power. The motor that pushes over 100 horsepower utilizes electronic fuel injection (38mm Keihin downdraft throttle bodies) hooked to an advanced ECU, oval sub throttles and a cool-air intake for smooth throttle response. All this is hooked to a six-speed transmission optimally geared for real world riding.
Kawasaki says "but this engine's magic is more about flexible and easy-to-use oomph than simply peak horsepower numbers. This dead-reliable inline-four produces the sort of power that launches you out of corners and away from stops in a way that'll keep you entertained - and your riding buddies impressed - for years to come. At seemingly every rpm level, the Ninja 1000 engine produces smooth, instant-on thrust many hardcore sportbikes simply can't match."
This smooth power is transmitted smoothly to the rider due to a balance shaft driven off the crankshaft that reduces vibration. The 2012 Ninja 1000 also features a stylish 4-into-2 catalyzer-equipped exhaust system, which provides a "pleasing growl without being overly loud" and reduces emissions.
The Ninja 1000's lightweight aluminum frame is similar to Kawasaki's famed liter bike, the ZX-10R. The frame cradles the engine from above, and bolts to the motor solidly in three spots, with the final mount rubber-backed for added vibration isolation and torisonal rigidity.
The 2012 Ninja 1000 features a fully adjustable, 41mm inverted fork with a preload- and rebound-adjustable single-shock system in back, "the ideal scenario for dialing in the perfect settings for your weight and riding style."
Kawasaki says "the single-shock system features a damper mounted nearly horizontally above the swingarm for optimal mass centralization and heat resistance."
The Ninja 1000's chassis rolls on lightweight six-spoke supersport rims, which are the latest in lightweight production technology.
And when it's time to apply the brakes, the 2012 Ninja 1000 uses race-spec brakes - 300mm petal-type rotors up front squeezed by ultra-rigid radially mounted calipers fed hydraulic pressure by an equally race-spec radial pump master cylinder. Out back is a single 250mm petal-type disc. And the 2012 Ninja 1000 is offered with ABS as an option.
As for styling, the Ninja 1000's fairings were designed with the spirit of the ZX-6R and ZX-10R in mind. It also features a manually adjustable 3-positon windscreen, faired front turn signals, a ZX-6R-spec front fender, a stylish tail-section and a full-featured instrument panel right off the Ninja ZX-6R with custom graphics.
The comfortable ergonomics on the Ninja 1000 can be attributed to high handlebars and low foot pegs, which helps achieve pleasurable hours in the saddle.
For 2012, Kawasaki offers the bike in two color combinations - candy lime green/ebony, and metallic black/grey. And if touring's in mind, Kawasaki offeres many accessories, including hard saddebags, a top case and heated grips.
The formula used to design the Ninja 1000 helped Kawasaki develop the ultimate everyday sportbike. Whether the rider wants to take on the twisties, commute or go on weekend tour, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 will tackle the task at hand.
And the best part? It's all offered under $11,200 (without ABS).

Pound for Pound, the Mightiest Middleweight Sportbike in History

Technological tour de force. That’s the only way to describe the original Ninja® 600 sportbike of 1985. Packing a liquid-cooled 16-valve inline-four (the first ever in a middleweight streetbike), wraparound twin-spar frame, anti-dive fork and aesthetics snatched right from the Grand Prix circuit, the original ZX600-A1 was a dominant, bigger-than-life middleweight.

Apparently, some things never change.

The 2011 ZX™-6R carries that tradition of middleweight dominance to a staggering level (one that would’ve blown minds in 1985). And in today’s ultra-competitive 600 supersport market, where technology, racetrack success and streetbike acumen can change dramatically year by year, that’s saying a lot. Don’t believe us? Then ask the many top-level magazines and web sites that picked the current-spec ZX-6R as Best Middleweight. It was an absolutely dominating 600 shootout performance – and one sure to be replicated in 2011 due to the ZX-6R’s track-honed DNA and seamless all-around capability.

That DNA begins with a 16-valve, DOHC inline-four engine that’s everything a top-shelf middleweight powerplant should be: supremely powerful, smooth, and blessed with hammer-like reliability. Critics everywhere agree the ZX-6R runs and performs like a larger-displacement motorcycle, and one that packs a rolling chassis that out-handles and out-suspends all others. It’s a perfect combination for street riders, track day junkies and racers alike, a flexibility that helps explain its many 600 comparo victories.

It all starts with the ZX-6R’s jewel-like engine, a 599cc assemblage of everything Kawasaki knows about powerplant building, and the result of untold hours of testing and refinement garnered from dyno room to racetrack and back again. Squeezing big power from small displacement has been a Kawasaki forte for many years, from the 350cc A7 Avenger to the 500cc H1, and from that first Ninja 600 to this latest ZX-6R, class leading power is a Kawasaki sportbike birthright.

And there’s more than peaky top-end power, too. The engine’s dual cams, 16 valves, 13.3:1 compression and 38mm throttle bodies produce the sort of smooth low-end and mid-range power that make dealing with traffic, surface streets and everyday riding a much more agreeable affair. Add to that superb throttle response and liquid-smooth control feel and you have a supersport motorcycle with commuting manners that easily match its phenomenal racetrack prowess.

Much of this smooth, rheostat-like power delivery is achieved through outstanding combustion efficiency. Cylindrical guides in the top of the airbox guide the fuel charge into the intake funnels directly to reduce buffeting and improve cylinder filling. Advanced cylinder head porting slams the air/fuel charge into and out of the combustion chamber post-haste, while high-current secondaries in the ignition coils provide hot, consistent spark at all rpm for maximum combustion impact. The engine’s mid-range performance also benefits from double-bore velocity stacks with inlets at two different heights, special-profile pistons with low piston-ring tension for reduced friction, and advanced cam chain guides for the highest degree of cam-chain stabilization.

This ultra-strong midrange power not only provides arm-stretching drive out of corners. It also offers unparalleled controllability and the sort of precise throttle control that pays big dividends when making mid-corner power adjustments while stringing a set of corners together on a snaky backroad or while negotiating that tricky set of turns at your favorite racetrack.

In keeping with its racing heritage, the ZX-6R employs a cassette-type transmission that greatly simplifies gearing changes at the track, reducing set-up time and allowing more time for riding. A high-tech slipper clutch – hardware usually found only on high-end racebikes – allows quick, effortless downshifts when diving into slower corners from big speed without upsetting the chassis.

Chassis control, of course, is the other half of the 600 supersport equation, and the ZX-6R once again dominates the field with its class-exclusive Big Piston Front fork, fully adjustable shock, ideal engine placement, optimum frame rigidity and the very latest in mass centralization.

The Ninja ZX-6R’s lean physique is fundamental to its superior handling, with every component carefully scrutinized for minimal weight. For instance, the intake resonator box and supports for the instrument panel and mirrors are unitized with the enlarged – to optimize intake volume – ram air duct, both of which contribute to weight savings and improved rigidity. Camshafts are made of lightweight chrome-moly steel, while magnesium engine covers also help shed pounds. Internal engine parts such as transmission, oil pump and starter gears are carefully engineered for maximum strength and minimal weight.

If less weight is great, top-shelf suspension technology to control it is even better, and the ZX-6R packs plenty. A perfect example is the ZX-6R’s revolutionary Showa-built BPF (Big Piston Front fork) front suspension, which is one large technological step beyond the cartridge-type fork used on other 600s. The magic behind the Big Piston fork is its larger-diameter internal piston, which allows a reduction in damping pressure for smoother action and better front end feedback – especially under braking and initial corner turn-in. Additionally, the BPF eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, simplifying construction and resulting in a lighter overall fork weight. The result is more control and better feedback, just what you need while ripping through your favorite right-hander during a track day, or tip-toeing along that rain-slicked backroad on your way home from work.

Suspension out back is just as advanced, and includes a gas-charged shock with dual-range (high- and low-speed) stepless compression damping, 25-way adjustable rebound damping and fully adjustable spring preload mated to a bottom-link Uni-Trak® system.

Kawasaki’s acclaimed triple petal disc brake package – with radial-mount calipers up front – is as refined and powerful as ever. Highly rigid four-piston calipers and 300mm petal-type rotors provide awesome power and excellent feel at the front wheel. The 220mm rear petal-type disc features a pedal coaxially mounted with the footpeg for increased mid-stroke braking efficiency and optimum pedal feedback. Its master cylinder reservoir mounts forward of the swingarm, freeing space around the footpeg, reducing parts and contributing to weight savings. It all adds up to unflappable composure under braking, and helps provide the precise control and feel that allows supersport racers to enter corners harder – and everyday riders to slow things down comfortably and controllably.

To better capitalize on this advanced level of light weight and precise control response, the 6R’s ergonomics have been fine tuned to enhance feedback from bike to rider and vice versa. The seat-peg-bar relationship places the handlebars close to the rider and angled for a highly intuitive riding position. The fuel tank cover is flared just so around its top edge, providing a large contact patch and contributing to excellent rider feedback – similar to the new ZX-10R. A narrow rear sub-frame and seat leading edge provide a slim, highly flexible riding position for moving around the bike, as well as a shorter reach to the pavement.

A highly refined fairing and one-piece front fender provide excellent aerodynamics and airflow to the radiator, along with superb wind protection for the rider and minimal crosswind buffeting. An inner rear fender mounted above the swingarm also reduces turbulence and helps keep the back of the motorcycle aerodynamically clean. The ZX-6R’s instrument panel provides plenty of at-a-glance information, while a race-spec adjustable twin-tube Öhlins steering damper with relief valve completes the track-ready package.

It’s all here: power, handling, light weight, advanced technology and typical Kawasaki reliability – exactly what you need to tame the racetrack, the mean streets – or both.
