With the Kawasaki ZX12R Ninja, Kawasaki thrust into the high-performance sport bike war raging among the Japanese motorcycle producer. The Ninja’s liquid-cooled, 1199cc DOHC, 16-valve 4-cylinder engine produce a peak power of 178 bhp at 10500 rpm.
The Kwasaki Ninja’s radical all-aluminum monologue frameand cast steering swing arm pivot areas understand an extremely stiff structureand contribute to the bike’s superb high-speed constancy and super sport handling appearance.
The ZX12R’s wind-tunnel future fairing was developed withassist from Kawasaki’s aircraft separation and the redesigned upper cowl has ashorter nose for improved aerodynamics and a sportier look. In honors of anaccord arrive at among Japanese manufacturers, starting with 2001 models,Kawasaki bring in speed limiters in the ZX-12R to decrease thbike’s top speed to 300 km/h.

The Yamaha YZF-R1 bike, launched in 1998, revolutionized the sportbike scenery by efficiently combine the grand power available previously in the true liter class (1,000cc) with the lightweight and receptiveness that a 600-class chassis affords.
Over the years, despite maintaining its characteristic sharp look, the R1 has undergon technical up gradations to keep pace with the times. The 2006 edition features a short-stroke 998cc DOHC, 20-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine that produces a peak power of 175 bhp.
The dual-valve petroleum inoculation system usesmotor-driven secondary throttle valves and 32-bit ECU for receptive, immediatepower delivery. The refurbished Deltabox V frame, revised forks and a 20mm longer swingarm facilitate excellent handling in the R1.
In 2006, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Yamaha racing in America, Yamaha released a Limited Edition yellow/white/black YZF-R1 in original Yamaha racing colors.

Suzuki introduced the sport bike Suzuki GSX1300R,commonly known as the Hayabusa, in 1999. As its beginning the Suzuki Hayabusa was extensively look upon as the fastest production motorcycle in the world until major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers voluntarily imposed rate regulators in their bikes.
The Hayabusa gain its name from the Japanese term for the Peregrine Falcon,the fastest person on the planet with speeds in surplus of 300 km/h in itshunting dive. The Hayabusa’s 4-stroke, four-cylinder liquid-cooled 1299ccengine enables it to generate an huge peak power of 175 bhp at 9800 rpm andarrive at from 0-100 km/h in three seconds flat.
The Hayabusa’s roaring achievement prompted other motorcycle producer to
come up with alike speed merchants like the BMW K1200S and the Kawasaki
ZX-14R.
