2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R Review | Rennie rocks Team Green

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R
Tested by Rennie Scaysbrook


It’s reasonable to say the past near decade of international superbike competition has belonged to one brand and one man. Kawasaki and Jonathan Rea have been near unstoppable over the last six years, taking six consecutive titles in a reign even more dominant than our own Mick Doohan enjoyed in the 1990s.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Kawasaki’s success at WorldSBK competition is no accident. The company’s might was pushed 100 per cent into production racing’s top-tier in 2010 rather than whizzed away at the bum-end of MotoGP, and the results have been undeniable (Kawasaki’s certainly got better bang for its commercial buck in WorldSBK than Aprilia has in MotoGP and for less than half the cost).

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The machine responsible for this green streak is the redoubtable ZX-10R (or ZX-10RR if we’re being picky), but the last time we saw any major changes to the steed was back in 2016 with the debut of the light crank, over-square motor that is still fitted to this 2021 edition.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The motor was never really the issue with the Kawasaki. It’s one of the most reliable, robust superbike motors out there, capable of punching out near 200 hp at the tyre with a few simple mods like a pipe and a flash for Superstock racing overseas and Superbike here in Australia. As such, the powerplant is essentially unchanged from the unit that debuted in 2016. There’s a new exhaust, new oil cooler, a gearbox with shorter ratios in the first three gears and a shorter overall final drive to help get the green hulk out of the corner hard on full throttle.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

It’s a similar story with the chassis and suspension. The frame and swingarm are unchanged although the wheelbase is 10 mm longer, achieved by a 2 mm greater fork offset and the wheel sits further back in the swing-arm, thanks to a longer length adjuster. The swing-arm itself sits lower in the frame and the rider is tilted a mere 0.2 percent closer to the front-end to help put more weight over the front under braking and cornering.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Kawasaki were the first to use the fantastic Showa Balance Free Front Fork and the Balance Free Rear Cushion shock on the 2016 ZX-10R and thus we shouldn’t be surprised to see them retained. They’ve been slightly altered, with slightly softer front springs while the rear spring is a slightly heavier 95 N/mm. Even the now-third generation Brembo M50 four-piston front brake calipers have been retained.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Ok, so where’s the difference? It’s in the Emperor’s New Clothes, sir.

A change is as good as a holiday, as the saying goes, and the one thing that was annoying Jonathan Rea more than anything was his Kawasaki didn’t come with the fancy wings all the other kids in school had.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

For a WorldSBK racer to have downforce wings fitted, the production machine must also. The Italians have been on this train for a few years, but the Japanese have been slow to react with only Honda developing inboard winglets on their CBR1000RR-R SP. This is the same route Aprilia took with the spectacular 2021 RSV4, a far less garish design than the wide wings used by Ducati but no less effective. Thus, Kawasaki is also going this direction to give Rea the downforce he so craves.

The winglets are discreet, tucked in either side of the fairing and help increase downforce a significant 17 per cent while reducing drag by a claimed seven per cent.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The winglets are paired with a more aggressive, wider stance from the handlebars, and the screen has grown 40 mm to help you tuck in when in full send mode (for me on track at 183 cm, this was a god-send).

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

LED lighting abounds in the new 10R, the lights hidden inside an all-new face that’s caused quite a stir among sportbike beauty debaters. I’m either way on it—it’s not the ugliest but it ain’t the prettiest, either. Hey, if it wins races, it’ll be pretty. Winners always are.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Superbike is all about how many electronics you can cram into an ECU these days but, mercifully, Kawasaki hasn’t overloaded you too much with choice. The old 2016-2020 ’10R didn’t have ride modes per se—you could alter power delivery and traction control like you can in the ’21’s Rider Mode—but that was it. The new bike has a Rain, Road and Sport mode, all with preset levels of TC and power to go with the fully programmable Rider Mode. And, the 10R now comes with cruise control, all of which is nothing ground-breaking in terms of current superbike spec’.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

What is cool about the electronics is it’s basically everything you need and nothing you don’t. The TC and Wheelie Control are linked, and although this is a system I’ve generally hated in the past (here’s looking at you, 2017 Honda CBR1000RR SP), Kawasaki’s got it figured out pretty well. The slip in level one on the ’10R allows for a bit of front wheel carry if needed and doesn’t chop the power harshly, and the steady, stable nature of the chassis gives you plenty of warning before things get too sideways, at which point you know you’ve really screwed up.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The chance to have a swing on Kawasaki new green meanie came at the soon-to-be-closed-to-bikes Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. NASCAR recently announced they’d be turning the two mile oval into a short track, meaning the infield section and thus any hope bikes will ride there again will be gone real soon. This sucks the fat one because there’s very few places in California you can hold a superbike pinned to the hilt in sixth gear. Now there’ll be one less. Oh well, better enjoy it while it lasts…

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

When you exit the third gear triple-left onto the straight and wind the 10R out, it’s not the motor that’s impressive. Indeed, if you’ve ridden one of the 1100cc beasts (Aprilia and Ducati) it feels almost slow. It’s not, but the big dogs would surely eat it in a straight line. What is impressive is the stability of the chassis. At 270 km/h, the 10R was solid as a rock, almost serenely so. The wider ’bars and taller screen made for an far easier tuck-in than previously, making the ride a less intimidating proposition than the old bike. I can mainly put this easier-going nature down to the revised fairing, because nothing else of note that would cause this has changed.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

It still feels very much like a ZX-10R. After all, you still have the same motor aside from some intake changes and pretty much the same chassis, although those ergonomics changes will definitely help you if you’re a touch on the taller side like me.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The motor pulls harder out of hairpins than before, showing the changes to the gearing have borne fruit. The 10R doesn’t lag quite as much when the revs are below 3000, although there’s still a bit of a flat spot which likely has something to do with the emissions regulations each manufacturer needs to abide by (some handle this hurdle better than others).

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Kawasaki’s given you an up and down quickshifter for the six-speed ’box. It’s good but not perfect, as I’d get repeated shift issues when high in the revs in third gear. This was a repeating problem, and one that was only solved if I dropped the revs about 1000 rpm and thus missed out on some vital top-end horsepower. Rider error? Perhaps, but I’ve ridden thousands of laps on superbikes at Fontana and not had this issue in the past.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

That was my only major gripe with the motor and gearbox. If I were going racing on it the first thing I’d do is shorten the gearing even further to access more of that mid-range earlier, but that’s standard race stuff.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

Turning to the chassis, you’ve got an old friend there. It’s so confidence inspiring, allowing me to maximize turn speed and use every last ounce of grip from the Bridgestone V02 racing slicks we had for our test.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The first time I used the Showa Balance Free Front Fork and the Balance Free Rear Cushion shock at Malaysia in 2016 was a bit of an eye-opener in the amount you could feel the front tyre doing its thing, and the 2021 ’10R is no different. Regardless of age (a bit like the brakes), the front-end works superbly, allowing you to trail brake right up to the apex and wind it back on for the exit.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

When you do, you’re greeted by a chassis that doesn’t quite drop on its arse thanks to the heavier spring, keeping a balanced chassis and lets you get really jiggy with it as the power comes rushing in. Couple this with the excellent TC system, and you can lay black lines and show off all you like with a solid safety net underneath you.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

There’s a great feel from your right wrist to your bum to the rear wheel on a ZX-10R, which is in almost direct contrast to the fire breathing first edition way back in 2004. Hey, it had to grow up sometime.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

It’s little wonder the Kawasaki ZX-10R has populated racing grids for so long. It’s a splendid superbike, easy to work on and reliable in that traditional UJM style. It’s not terribly different to the old bike, a good thing, because it keeps winning races not just in highly modified WorldSBK, but also in Superstock trim around the world.

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R

The new 10R will likely continue this trend as it is very much a matter of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’

2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Owners Are Now Able to Activate Adaptive Cruise Control

2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 owners now have the option to activate the Adaptive Cruise Control if equipped. 2022 Multistradas will see a price increase as the feature will be active from the factory.

2021 Ducati Multistrada V4 Review – First Ride

Begin Press Release: 


Multistrada V4 S Receives North American Radar Certification

  • Ducati Multistrada V4 S is officially radar-certified in North America
  • Multistrada V4 S radar technology is a revolutionary new system incorporated for the first time on a production motorcycle
  • Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection provides enhanced levels of rider comfort and convenience

Sunnyvale, Calif., July 1, 2021 – The Ducati Multistrada V4 S is now radar-certified in North America, allowing riders the capability to enjoy the revolutionary new radar system for the first time on a production motorcycle. This certification will enable North American customers to use Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection systems.

2021 ducati Multistrada V4 S

With the radar technology hardware now having been certified, current model-year 2021 Multistrada V4 S owners may have radar software uploaded and calibrated by their dealerships from July 1, 2021. All 2021 Multistrada V4 S models are equipped with the radar hardware as standard providing the customer the choice to upgrade and activate the radar technology.

“Ducati is proud to be the first to deliver radar on a motorcycle, and the North American release of this technology takes Ducati further into the future of motorcycling,” said Jason Chinnock, Chief Executive Officer of Ducati North America. “We have consistently led the development of emerging technologies, and now with the use of radar we can greatly enhance the convenience and comfort for our riders. The Multistrada V4 S is the perfect application for radar technology, as one of the strengths of this motorcycle is to tackle cross-country adventures. Having the benefits of Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Sport Detection at the rider’s fingertips will make these journeys even more enjoyable.”

The Multistrada V4 S’s radar technology is an advanced rider aid system that manages two functions: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD). The ACC is perfectly integrated into the bike, which by means of controlled braking and acceleration automatically maintains the distance (selectable on four levels) from other vehicles. The ACC system allows for more comfortable riding, especially on long highway journeys. The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) technology, housed under the taillight, can detect and report vehicles approaching in the so-called blind spot, namely the area not visible either directly by the rider or through the rear-view mirror. The BSD system monitors traffic behind the rider and displays a rider warning thanks to the LEDs positioned in the rear-view mirrors. If the user activates the direction indicator expressing the intention to change lane, the BSD flashes the LED signaling a potentially dangerous condition.

The motorcycle is currently available in dealerships throughout North America.

United States pricing for the Multistrada V4 begins at an MSRP of $19,995, with the Multistrada V4 S starting at $24,095 and Multistrada V4 S Sport at $26,095. For Canada, the Multistrada V4 starts at an MSRP of $22,395 CAD and an MSRP of $26,745 CAD for the Multistrada V4 S, with the Multistrada V4 S Sport starting at a Canadian MSRP of $28,795 CAD.

Bonham Summer Sale To Include More Than 330 Vintage Motorcycles

With the tickle of summer heat come waves of enthusiasts to the International Classic Motorcycle Show – and the Bonham Summer Stafford Sale will guarantee a pretty package for a penny or two.

Side Profile of a 1913 Brough Model H

According to a report from MCN, this year’s auctions will boast more than 330 motorcycles from nearly every era – from the nostalgia of the 1913 Brough 497cc Model H to the speedy cherry sheen of a mint 1973 MV Agusta 750S. 

Leading the pack is a Brough Superior SS100 1000cc Supercharged Special re-creation, the baby of Brough devotee Ewan Cameron – a marque expert and engineer in his own rights.

Cameron built the Brough Superior as an homage to Noel Pope, who recorded the fastest speed around the 1939 Brooklands circuit at 124.51 mph just before the onslaught of the Second World War. 

It is a record that still stands today, given that the circuit never reopened.

All other bikes at Bonham’s auction boast similarly beautiful back-stories and will be available for sale from July 2-4. 

Garrett Gerloff next to a Yamaha build for MotoGP

The auction will be held live, though all bidders will need to have gotten their hands on a ticket off of the International Classic MotorCycle Show’s website in advance due to compliance with current restrictions.

Looking forward to the biddings, and make sure to stay cool out there.

Gresini Racing donates simulation room to Bologna Hospital

“But he – who for me was not only an ill patient but also a friend with whom I was sharing the passion for MotoGP – has taught us more than any of our efforts could. He taught us to remember that beyond pain, beyond sufferance, there was his team: his family, his employees, his riders… He, until his last breath, was asking about them. He was talking about them. To know that they wanted to leave us a tangible sign of all the good things he did here is helping us overcome the unsuccessful use of medical science on Fausto, as well as on all the patients we were unable to save during this pandemic. The charity effort started by Fausto and his family is a true relief for the wounds inflicted by Covid on us healthcare professionals. Our thank you will not be enough compared to your wonderfully curing gesture.”
 
PAOLO BORDON, GENERAL MANAGER AZIENDA USL DI BOLOGNA: “Stories such as the one of Fausto Gresini paint a picture of a healthcare system that looks after and is being looked after by the institutions of the territory, who wish to actively contribute to its growth and innovation. As the Local Healthcare Unit company of Bologna, we are involved on many fronts in order to ensure the best care to the ill patients, while trying to also look after everyone at their sides. Despite being painfully affected by the loss of Fausto, today we can’t be but doubly grateful to his family and to all the MotoGP fan club who wanted to take part in the memory of the beloved friend and/or colleague, while donating a breath of oxygen to the Training Centre “Gambale” of the Maggiore Hospital.”

Portimao up next for the FIM CEV World Championship

In the FIM Moto3™ JWCh, it remains Daniel Holgado (Aspar Junior Team) in the driving seat. It’s no longer a 100% record for the Spaniard but still four wins from five, and he’ll be looking to make that five from six. The usual fast suspects will be out to stop him, however: Ivan Ortola (Team MTA), David Muñoz (Avatel – Cardoso Racing), David Salvador (TM Racing Factory Team), Jose Antonio Rueda (Team Estrella Galicia 0,0), David Alonso (Aspar Junior Team) and more, all of whom are looking for their first victories of the campaign. Mario Aji (Astra Honda Racing Team) and Takuma Matsuyama (Asia Talent Team) have also been quick and the former remains on the hunt for a first podium, the latter a first win? and both have been close.
