What would a new engine and chassis be without new bodywork to show it off? Yep, the 10R gets an all-new aerodynamics package that lets it rip through the air more efficiently than ever before. The new fairing significantly improves the 10R’s aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds. Aerodynamic performance and looks are further improved by the new dual under-seat muffler.
One way to make a bike quicker is to increase its power; the other is reduce wind resistance. The new fairing, seat cowl and dual under-seat exhaust system deliver significantly improved aerodynamics, especially in the upper speed ranges. Kawasaki calculates that the slippery aerodynamics package is worth 7.5 kW of power at 280 km/h.
