Kawasaki DNA

Engine and chassis development proceeded simultaneously, and studies were carried out for the new Kawasaki flagship. First and foremost, the design had to express the Kawasaki DNA, the image of Kawasaki as the performance leader.

According to Kawasaki’s Design Planning Section Chief: “The Kawasaki brand has a hard-core image. This spirit is expressed by the speed, power, masculinity and dignity of our machines. For that reason, the new ZZR had to be a complete package with no weaknesses. In the big-bike category, Kawasaki is a premium brand. Serious Kawasaki fans pay particular attention to this class. The new ZZR must meet the demanding expectations of these serious enthusiasts.”
