Held at MITEC Kuala Lumpur, the two new bikes which were just recently launched globally have made their way to Malaysian shores in order to bring total superbike supremacy to this part of the world.

This baby has been specifically-developed for superior performance based on the race machine used by Jonathan Rea and the Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) in WorldSBK. This multiple-championship-winning machine gave Rea four straight championship victories in the premier class and now, 500 lucky owners around the world are able to enjoy the same feeling.

Powered a powerful 998cc inline-four engine, the new 2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR now produces 201hp but with better overall performance thanks to new titanium parts and a redesigned crankshaft plus a rise in the previously flat torque curve. This means that the ZX-10RR is able to produce more power but at the same time offer better rideability for those looking for the ultimate precision machine.

Other top end features include KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System), ABS, horizontal back-link suspension, KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode), IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), electronic throttle valves, KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function), S-KTRC (Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control), power modes, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubbers, and more.

As stated earlier, the new Ninja ZX-10RR is limited in production to just 500 units worldwide and KMSB is targeting in getting the biggest allocation for the Asian region. According to Dato’ Jeffrey Lim Chee Sing, General Manager & Director of KMSB, they’re planning to bring in around 10-20 units here in Malaysia if all goes well.

Producing a monstrous 127hp at 13,500rpm and 70.8Nm of maximum torque upon hitting 11,000rpm, the ZX-6R offers “greater performance across the rpm range is welcome when sport riding, both in the hills and on the racetrack.”

In conjunction with the launch of the two new superbikes, KMSB also took the opportunity to launch their brand new Kawasaki Genuine Oil via a new technical partnership deal with Idemitsu. The introduction of Kawasaki Motors Malaysia 4T Semi and Fully Synthetic Genuine Oils are all about providing maximum power and protection whilst keeping the overall maintenance costs down.

According to Mr. Ahmad Faez bin Tan Sri Yahaya, Executive Chairman of KMSB, “The 4T Semi Synthetic Oil is a superior performance synthetic motorcycle oil that’s specially-blended for high-performance engines and offer maximum protection. While 4T Fully Synthetic Oil is a premium quality and specially-blended formulation that provides optimum power and engine performance.”

Both of the engine oils from Kawasaki offer outstanding oil consumption and control, gearshift quality, and wet-clutch performance. They are also excellent with low-temperature flow characteristics which help in reducing overall engine wear and assisting during cold start-ups.

The 4T Genuine Fully and Semi Synthetic Oil 10W-40 SL JASO MA2 are priced at RM39.90 and RM29.90 respectively for a one-litre bottle. To know more, head over to www.kawasaki.com.my.
