This 2013 Kawasaki ZX-10R is the bike that finally saw Kawasaki throw everything at the litre-class superbike fight, and it's still a seriously fast, seriously capable machine. The 998cc liquid-cooled DOHC inline four produces a claimed 197-200 bhp at the crank with 114Nm of torque, revving hard to a 13,000rpm redline through a slick six-speed box with a slipper clutch. It's savagely quick, with a top speed north of 180mph, and demands respect.
What set this generation apart was the electronics. It was the first Japanese sportsbike with proper sport-focused traction control, Kawasaki's S-KTRC, which makes hundreds of calculations a second from wheel-speed, engine-speed and throttle sensors and can even distinguish controllable wheelies from dangerous ones, letting you ride faster rather than just reining you in. Add three rider-selectable power modes and the option of KIBS intelligent ABS and it was the most intelligent Kawasaki street bike of its day.

This Ninja features Leo Vince SBK carbon tip exhaust, SP Evotech tail tidy, tinted double bubble screen, adjustable levers, engine covers, crash bungs, braided hoses, two keys, owners manual and service book with four stamps in the book.
