KAWASAKIZX-9R Ninja 2002 - 2003

　　The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-9R was a sports motorcycle part of the Ninja family. It debuted in 1994 as a replacement for the Kawasaki GPZ900R and was manufactured until 2003, when it was replaced by the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.

　　The bike was presented at the 1992 Paris Motor Show in September as a response to Honda's introduction of the 1992 CBR900RR Fireblade. The bike was based on the ZX-7 model, and the engine was developed from the same machine but shared only a few elements.

　　In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-9R, a sports motorcycle that underwent minor updates, such as new and improved four-piston Nissin brake calipers. It also received a stronger frame, a braced swingarm, ZX-12R-styled headlights, and air intakes.

　　The bike was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with an optional passenger seat cover, a four-into-one exhaust system, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs tied to four-piston Nissin calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear, offering optimum braking performance.

　　In the performance department, the 2002 Kawasaki ZX-9R Ninja had its heartbeat set by an 899cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 144 hp at 11,000 rpm and 101 Nm (75 lb-ft) torque at 9,200 rpm.
