“The design went through various permutations before being finalised,” says the ZZR’s product planner. “And while we wanted to retain that unmistakable ZZR image, it was also important to allow the image to evolve. Throughout the design process, I had a very distinct idea of what I wanted the bike to look like, and that image remained clearly in focus throughout the design process. I think the design of the new ZZR will exceed the expectations of Kawasaki fans in Japan and America. From both an aesthetic and functional viewpoint, this is a very well balanced design.”
