The ZX-10R is the peak of team green engineering, while the ZX-10RR was created for those who wanted to race but couldn't afford to do so with their Ninja. With the extra 'R,' you get a high-lift camshaft, DLC-coated tappets with decreased friction, and firmer valve springs to deal with the high-revving hijinks the bike will undoubtedly encounter. The Marchesini wheels are lightweight forged seven-spoke pieces with Pirelli Supercorsa SP rubber. All of this culminates in an Akrapovic exhaust end can. The SE takes the RR and pushes it one step closer to perfection, which is why we've talked so much about it. The format, chassis, and engine are all the same — a 998cc four-cylinder engine with a two-way quickshifter produces 197bhp and 114Nm. It includes semi-active Showa suspension, which measures suspension movement every millisecond and adjusts it every ten milliseconds using the IMU and ECU. Bridgestone Battlax RS10 tyres are available in some areas. It comes in only one colour scheme and is the most expensive of the ZX-10R models by a long shot.
