The American Kawasaki Motorcycle Corp started in Chicago in an old meat-packing warehouse back in 1966, a group of dedicated and ambitious entrepreneurs. At that time, the company had no name, brand recognition or customers. Nothing but drive. In the last forty years, many things have changed – but that drive remains. Since their early days of their Omega two strokes, Kawasaki has become synonymous with high-performance fun. The main focus of the Ninja ZX-10R is brute power. If your average 4-cylinder Toyota Camry had the same power per cubic centimeter as this motorcycle, it would put out 446 hp. This is more muscle than any other sedan on the road. In fact, you would have to buy a Z06 Corvette to get more power. But the real measure of the Ninja ZX-10R is the power-to-weight ratio. Weighing in at 393 lbs. dry and pumping out 186 hp at the crank, this motorcycle has a power to weight ratio of 0.473 hp/lb. (Remember that Z06? It would have to bulk up to 1509 hp over the measly 505 hp that it comes with from the factory.) Available in four colors, this "Best Of's" not short on looks, either - but who cares? If you blink, you'll miss it.
