Best For	This is a machine best suited to experienced, skilled riders comfortable with a supersport's aggressive demands.
Purpose	Built primarily for track-focused performance and high-speed cornering rather than everyday practicality.
Rider Fit	Expect an aggressive, forward-leaning riding position that places significant weight on the wrists and demands core strength during hard riding.
Character	A razor-sharp, race-bred literbike with an in-line four engine character that rewards precise, committed inputs.
Not Ideal For	This is not a good fit for beginners, commuters seeking comfort, or riders planning long-distance touring or passenger duty.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 813mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
