パワー増加
+61bhp
139bhp ZX-9R → 200bhp ZX-10R. Most of that came in the 2004 ZX-10R launch — Kawasaki's first proper litre-class sport bike outgunned the 9R immediately by 35bhp.
トルク変化
+13Nm
102Nm → 115Nm. The 2006 model already had basically modern torque numbers.
Weight loss → gain
−8 then back
The 2006 ZX-10R was 40kg lighter than the 1996 ZX-9R (175 dry vs 215 dry). Then weight crept back up with electronics and emissions to 207kg wet.
実質価格変化
−£0.4k
£8,200 in 1996 ≈ £16,400 today. The 2026 ZX-10R is £15,999 — slightly cheaper in real terms. Major aero update for 2026 with new winglets and Euro5+ compliance (193bhp, down from 200bhp). For a bike that won six WSBK titles between 2015 and 2021.
ライダーエイド数
0 → 8
1996: zero. 2026: cornering ABS, IMU traction, launch control, engine braking, ride modes, quickshifter, slide control, wheelie control.
Aerodynamics
None → Winglets
In 1996, "aero" meant the fairing held the bodywork on. Today it means downforce-generating winglets that reduce wheelies and increase stability over 200kph.
最安の入口
£2k
A clean 1996 ZX-9R B1 today. The Ninja that took on the Fireblade and lost — now severely undervalued because of that.
