The locally-made Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R costs INR 12.80 lakh, while the Ninja ZX-10RR is offered at INR 16.10 lakh (all prices are ex-showroom Delhi).

As reported on 16 July, both bikes sold-out in within 15 days of launch. The locally assembled Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R costs INR 12.80 lakh, while the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR gets a price tag of INR 16.10 lakh (both the prices are ex-showroom Delhi). Kawasaki dealerships have received around 100 bookings for the motorcycles across India. The bikes were earlier imported via the CBU route, priced from INR 18.80 lakh (ex-showroom India).

Local assembly of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and the Ninja ZX-10RR has resulted in a massive price cut of INR 6 lakh. The incredible market response for the motorcycles led to Kawasaki to stop accepting bookings for the Ninja ZX-10R with immediate effect. While the new Ninja ZX-10R is offered in the KRT Edition colour scheme, the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR only gets the black paint scheme.

Powering the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a 998 cc, inline four, liquid-cooled engine that is capable of generating a maximum power of 197 bhp at 13,000 rpm while developing a peak torque of 113.5 Nm at 11,500 rpm, mated to a 6-speed transmission. The motorcycle can sprint from 0-100 kph in 2.8 seconds before reaching a top speed of 299 kph.

Electronic rider aids on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R include Kawasaki launch control (KLCM), traction control(S-KTRC), multi-level power modes, Kawasaki Quick Shifter, switchable ABS control (KIBS), engine braking function (KEBC), and cornering management (KCMF). An inertial measuring unit (IMU) controls the electronic riding suite.
