Kawasaki India is set to become an independent entity without support from Bajaj Auto.
The Kawasaki ZX10RR was unveiled at Intermot in October 2016. The motorcycle is set to be launched in India on March 11 reports ZigWheels.
The Kawasaki ZX10R is a production motorcycle which won’t find itself out of place at a race track. The limited edition sibling, the Kawasaki ZX10RR, takes things to a whole new level. The European allotment was announced to be 500 units.

The tappets get low friction DLC coating while the lightweight forged aluminium Marchesini wheels help in reducing the kerb weight of the motorcycle. Front brake gets a Brembo M50 monobloc calliper with laterally grooved Brembo disc rotors plus a Brembo radial pump master cylinder and steel braided hoses.
