Kawasaki Motor Corp USA has announced that a “technical hold” has been issued for the new 2011 ZX-10R, and that the handful of units already delivered to customers (reported to only be approximately 25 or so) must be returned to the dealership “for a full refund and will be among the first to have the option of receiving a new unit once the technical hold has been lifted.” All unsold units will be returned to KMC warehouses, and will be “redistributed once Kawasaki is 100 percent confident they reflect company standards.”
As expected, various wild and unfounded rumors as to the reason for the technical hold have been spreading like wildfire on the internet, but our insider at Kawasaki says that all of them are complete bunk. “Some of the stuff I’m seeing on forums and such are people stabbing in the dark, trying to sound informed,” said our insider. “A lot of people making statements like ‘my dealer said Kawasaki said it was this,’ or ‘so-and-so said it was this...’ Mistaken installation of wrong parts, oil pickup issues, cylinder ring problems…all complete fabrications. And contrary to one widespread rumor, it apparently affects units worldwide, not just North American units.” So just what is the problem or issue causing this? “The fact of the matter of is, KHI (Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the parent company in Japan) hasn’t told us yet. And we’d be the first to know because we’ve to got to implement the fix ASAP. So no one outside of the tech people in Japan knows yet.” When we mentioned that staging a recall of sorts without stating the specific reason for it only invites conjecture, our insider replied, “I know, I know. Unfortunately Japan hasn’t been forthcoming with details yet.” More news as we get it, then.
The following is the official press release from Kawasaki Motor Corp USA:
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. is placing a technical hold on the 2011 Ninja® ZX™-10R sportbike. The company is proactively addressing a remedy which reflects Kawasaki’s commitment to excellence and its relationships with its highly valued customers and dealer network.
The following actions are being initiated through the Kawasaki dealer network:
• Unsold units will be returned to KMC warehouses. The units will be redistributed once Kawasaki is 100 percent confident they reflect company standards for this highly technical, race-bred machine.
• Those who have taken delivery of a unit will be instructed to return the unit to the dealership for a full refund and will be among the first to have the option of receiving a new unit once the technical hold has been lifted.
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC) markets and distributes Kawasaki motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, utility vehicles and recreation utility vehicles through a network of more than 1,400 independent retailers, with an additional 8,000 retailers specializing in Kawasaki power products and general purpose engines.

Precise throttle control helps, but the Yamaha's stiff throttle-return spring does not. Otherwise? Physically smaller than its peers, the FJR feels lighter as well, though at 687 pounds fully fueled, it's 14 pounds heavier than the BMW. Still, compact dimensions and relatively sporty steering geometry make it the most agile of the bunch, regardless of speed or situation. Careful airflow management aims hot air from the engine away from the rider much more effectively. And the Yamaha's suspension delivers a comfortably taut ride around town, though never as plush as the Honda or BMW.
Adjourn to open road and the FJR acquits nicely. There's a bit of buzz at 75 mph in fifth despite taller '06 gearing. Dual counterbalancers do an admirable job, but the 1298cc four always feels as if it would be happier with a six-speed. This year's bigger windscreen spans a broader range of adjustment, creating a relatively calm cockpit. Tall riders still get a speck of turbulence with the firm-yet-comfortably-humane seat in its upper position. Sensitive backsides wished for a better seat after two hours or so of saddle time. At that point everyone would have paid Big Dough for cruise control, or at least a lighter throttle. Though a prudent hand can squeeze nearly 300 freeway miles from the 6.6-gallon tank, we were ready for a break after 250 and ready to turn into the twisty bits.
The FJR feels progressively more agile and athletic when corners outnumber the straights. Three years ago, the original FJR was hampered by soft suspension and an inclination for dragging various hard parts on the pavement, but no more. The firmed-up suspension isn't quite as compliant as the Honda's, but it manages to keep the Yamaha chassis happy over all but the worst sort of pavement. Pegs touch down a few degrees earlier than on the BMW-a consequence of abundant legroom-but if that's a genuine hardship, get an R1.
Yamaha's admirable mix of power and feel make the newly linked FJR brakes the best in this bunch, especially with an ABS system that never intrudes unbidden. All is well until it's time to shift gears. Use your left hand or left foot; the computer clutch really is a hardship. Upshifts are slow and clumsy. And forget about thumbing quick Michael Shumacher-style downshifts before peeling off into the next bend. The YCCS system takes its time there as well, pushing shift points infuriatingly close to the next apex. Anticipate the lag and you can approximate the precision of the manual-clutch bikes, but we found ourselves shifting less and enjoying it more.
In the end, technology should solve more problems than it creates, but Yamaha's digital clutch-in its current iteration, at least-inflicts the opposite on an otherwise excellent package. As C. Tuna Everitt said more than once, "It sucks the life out of the whole thing, undermining the rest of the motorcycle literally and figuratively at every turn." And that's A shame, because most of this motorcycle is very, very good.

K 1200 S is the elegance, perfection is a combination of skills and sports. I contoured, flowing lines and interact with the new bike to emphasize the muscles of the vibrant, athletic character and the transparency of a motorcycle and "lightness" to reflect the agility of the stressed athlete.Clear excellent in all aspects of the new feeling surface tension The highlight of looking to technology to create a frame is provided, the handle and wheels of his own design, the K 1200 S technology.

This photoshop rendering unveils precisely what the motorcycle press is expecting from the future generation liter bike: angular lines that would reflect a blend of features found on visually attractive motorcycles such as the Hornet, from which it gets the tail and RC8 or YZF-M1 fairing with ZX-14 venting gills. Also, the paintjob is very attractive and still in accordance with the Team Green standards.

The design was developed from Kenny Dreer's Commando 952, but in particular features a new engine from designers and builders MCT. The engine is a 961cc pushrod parallel twin producing around 80HP. This machine is also fitted with carbon fibre wheels and Ohlins shock absorbers and although it could be said to retain some of the overall look of the original Commando is packed with modern components and design features.
The 'on the road' price at pre-production launch was £15,995
