5 Perkara Mengenai Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja yang Anda Mungkin Tak Tahu

Artikel ini mungkin sepatutnya ditulis ketika filem Top Gun pertama yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 1986, tetapi internet belum lahir lagi. Apapun, pengarang ini baru sahaja menonton semula filem itu (kali sejuta) dan berasa terdorong untuk menulis tentang motosikal Top Gun yang asal: Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja.

Berikut adalah 5 perkara menarik yang mungkin anda tidak tahu.

1. Projek dirahsiakan selama 6 tahun

Kawasaki memerlukan motosikal untuk mengikuti jejak Z1 yang berjaya dan ikonik. Mereka memerlukan sesuatu yang lebih berkuasa daripada apa-apa yang ada di pasaran serta memperkenalkan reka bentuk yang segar. Dunia motosikal telah menuju ke awal 80-an ketika itu, yang merupakan satu dekad yang mahukan segala-galanya lebih berkuasa dan lebih pantas, dan lebih-lebih lagi, dengan rekabentuk yang baharu.

Kawasaki mengusahakan motosikal itu berulang kali, tetapi tiada tangkapan intipan yang wujud, terutamanya kerana tiada internet ketika itu. Ia kekal dalam rahsia lebih baik daripada pesawat Darkstar di dalam filem Top Gun: Maverick.

Akhirnya, ia dilancarkan pada tahun 1984 dan terus mendapat pujian di seluruh dunia.

2. Ninja yang pertama

GPZ900R merupakan motosikal Kawasaki pertama yang memakai nama “Ninja” untuk menandakan pengendalian dan kelajuannya. Sejak itu, semua motosikal sportbike dan sport-touring yang ber-fairing Kawasaki daripada ZX-250 hinggalah H2R menggunakan sebutan Ninja.

3. Motosikal produksi dengan enjin DOHC 16 injap yang pertama

Enjin itu mengikut kapasiti 900cc Z1 tetapi ia diberikan kepala 16 injap DOHC – julung kalinya untuk motosikal produksi. Ia juga mempunyai penyejukan cecair, tetapi ia bukan motosikal pertama yang menggabungkan ciri itu.

Ciri-ciri baharu itu memberikan kuasa puncak 115hp dan membawa motosikal itu ke kelajuan tertinggi 243 km/j. Itu seterusnya memperoleh GPz900R Ninja gelaran motosikal produksi terpantas di dunia dan meletakkan cabaran kepada pengeluar lain.

4. Tom Cruise mahukannya dalam Top Gun

Pernah perasan bahawa Tom Cruise menunggang motosikal dalam hampir setiap filemnya? Dia ialah seorang peminat dan penunggang motosikal sebelum siri Top Gun dan Mission: Impossible menjadi terkenal. Dia tahu tentang GPZ900R dan meyakinkan pembuat filem untuk memasukkannya ke dalam Top Gun yang dikeluarkan 2 tahun selepas pengenalan motosikal itu.

5. Dihasilkan sehingga 2003

Motosikal itu begitu berjaya sehingga ia dihasilkan sampai 1996 untuk pasaran global, dan pengeluaran untuk pasaran Jepun diteruskan sehingga 2003. Itu adalah pengeluaran selama 17 tahun. Ramai peminat motosikal klasik masih mencari model ini.

Penutup

Filem Top Gun: Maverick yang baharu menampilkan Maverick menunggang Kawasaki Ninja H2, yang merupakan kesinambungan daripada Ninja asal dan sebagai motosikal produksi terpantas di dunia. Tetapi anda tidak boleh menghilangkan pengaruh Ninja yang asal, sama seperti filem Top Gun yang pertama.

5 Stuff about the Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja you May not Know

This article was probably best-timed for the first Top Gun film which came out in 1986, but hey, the internet was not born yet. But this author had just rewatched the film (for the millionth time) and felt compelled to write about the original Top Gun bike: Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja.

Here are 5 interesting stuff you may not know about.

1. 6-year Top Secret Project

Kawasaki needed a bike to succeed the successful and iconic Z1. They needed something that is more powerful than what everyone else had in the market, as well as introduce a fresh design. The motorcycle world had headed into the early 80s by then, which was a decade of excess. Everything had to be more powerful and faster, and on top of that, with groundbreaking design.

Kawasaki worked on the bike over and over. No spyshots existed, especially since there was no internet back then. It stayed in secret better than the Darkstar aircraft.

Finally, it was released in 1984 to global acclaim.

2. The first Ninja

The GPZ900R was the first of Kawasaki’s bikes to wear the “Ninja” name to signify its handling and speed. Since then, all Kawasaki faired sportbikes and even sport-tourers from the ZX-250, to the nighty H2R utilised and utilises the Ninja designation.

3. The first DOHC 16-valve production bike

The engine followed the Z1’s 900cc capacity but it was given a DOHC 16-valve head – the first for a production motorcycle. It had liquid-cooling, too, but it was not the first bike to incorporate that feature.

The new features gave the engine a 115hp peak power output and took the bike to a 243 km/h top speed. That in turn earned the GPz900R Ninja the world’s fastest production bike title and laying down the gauntlet for other manufacturers to beat.

4. Tom Cruise wanted it in Top Gun

Ever noticed that Tom Cruise rides a bike in almost every movie of his? He had been a biker even before Top Gun and the Mission: Impossible series became famous. He knew about the GPZ900R and convinced the producers to include it in the movie which came out 2 years after the bike’s introduction.

5. Produced until 2003

The bike was so successful that it was produced until 1996 for the global market, but production kept going until 2003 for the Japanese market. That was a 17-year production run. Many classic bike aficionados are still seeking the bike.

Closing

The new Top Gun: Maverick movie had Maverick riding the Kawasaki Ninja H2, which is all good since it a continuation of the original Ninja and as the world’s fastest production motorcycle. But you just cannot take away the original Ninja’s clout, just like the first Top Gun movie.

Kawasaki Introduces Updated KLX 230 Models

The refreshed 2024 Kawasaki KLX230 S and KLX230SM ABS have arrived with updates that include new paintjobs, graphics, LEDs and even a suspension overhaul. Both bikes are updated by the same 233cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine and the same six-speed gearbox. But there is quite a bit that is different underneath the two bikes. We break it down for you:

2024 Kawasaki KLX230 S

In terms of suspension, the KLX230 S gets a 37mm telescopic front fork with 7.8-inches of suspension travel, complemented by a rear Uni-Trak linkage offering 8.9-inches of travel at the back with preload adjustability. Kawasaki reports that the revised aluminium swingarm sheds about 1.2 kilograms compared to the previous generation swingarm.

The 2024 KLX230 S rolls on a 20-inch front and a 18-inch rear wheel. It’s available in both ABS and non-ABS variants, featuring petal disc brakes at the front and rear. The brakes vary slightly between the ABS and non-ABS versions, with the ABS model sporting a 265-millimeter front brake disc and the non-ABS model equipped with a 240-millimeter front brake disc instead. In both cases, a 220-millimeter rear brake disc gets the job done.

The seat height is a more accessible 33-inches. The curb weight stands at 133 kilograms. LCD instrumentation and smartphone connectivity via Kawasaki’s Rideology The App are standard on this motorcycle.

2024 Kawasaki KLX230 SM

The 2024 Kawasaki KLX230 SM benefits from the same engine, ergonomics, and subframe modifications as the 2024 KLX230 S but adds a more supermoto-oriented character to the mix.

Instead of the 20-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels found on the KLX230 S, the 2024 Kawasaki KLX230 SM boasts a pair of 17-inch wheels at both ends. As for brakes, a 300mm semi-floating petal front disc handles braking up front, while a single 220-inch rear disc takes care of things at the rear.

Suspension-wise, riders get an inverted 37-millimeter front fork, as well as the Uni-Trak rear linkage also present on the KLX230 S. Spring settings are slightly firmer to accommodate the road-biased nature of this machine. Similarly, the footpegs on the SM feature rubber pads to reflect their street orientation.

A new LED headlight, a two-toned and flattened-out saddle, and a redesigned tank/shroud/cowl unit complete the KLX230 SM package for 2024.

Kawasaki markets its motorcycles in multiple regions worldwide. Consequently, pricing and availability may vary depending on location, but for Malaysians, prices may be expensive due to the falling value of the ringgit.

The KLX230 S for example is priced at RM23,620 while the KLX230 S ABS is priced at RM25,032. The KLX230 SM though is priced at RM26,500.

However, expect these prices to change should these bikes hit the Malaysian market. Since Kawasaki bikes are assembled and distributed by Modenas which means those prices could be lower. If the Ringgit does not fall further that is.

Rumour: Modenas Z400RS Coming in 2024?

The rumour wheels of the internet are running again with speculation that Kawasaki is preparing to introduce a baby RS called the Z400RS, or even Z4RS.

According to reports coming out of Japan, Kawasaki is set to continue with its usual model line up where the introduction of a new Ninja model will immediately be followed by a Z model, and in recent years, that will be followed up with an RS model.

It is also worth noting that this is not the first time that these rumours have floated, the first was in 2022, but considering that the ZX-4R has already hit some markets, this could just be the year the rumours come true.

Just as a refresher, Kawasaki introduced the ZX4-R early last year and even previewed it at the Bangkok Motor Show at the second half of 2023.

The ZX-4R is powered by a 400cc, inline 4-cylinder engine pushing 77PS. A naked-Z variant will soon follow with the same engine and suspension variant.

However, word on the grapevine is now suggesting that a retro naked model will also follow suite, ala Z900RS and the Z650RS.

Why would Kawasaki do that though? Well besides the fact that Kawasaki has been doing that in recent times already, Kawasaki has also done so before in the 70s with the 400-RS. Back then, the Zephyr and FX name plates were used.

Some Japanese media outlets are reporting that there is a 70% chance of the Z400RS (or Z4RS) being introduced sometime in quarter three of 2024.

So how does Modenas fit into this picture?

Lets not forget that Kawasaki and Modenas strengthened their relationship in Malaysia with Kawasaki increasing its shares in the Malaysian company. This happened sometime in 2021 with an official announcement made in 2022.

Besides the changing of Kawasaki dealerships, one of the key takeaways from that is a rebranding exercise.

In Malaysia, all Kawasaki bikes 650cc and under are rebranded as Modenas while anything above that will continue to carry the Kawasaki brand.

This is why models like the Versys are known as the Modenas Versys.

So with the imminent introduction of the Ninja ZX-4R in Malaysia, could we soon see a Modenas Z400RS?

If the rumours are to be believed, it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

Kawasaki Versys Hibrid Akan Tiba Tak Lama Lagi

Motosikal hibrid Kawasaki yang bakal dilancarkan telah terdedah melalui ilustrasi paten terkini. Gambar dibawah, dikongsikan oleh penerbitan Itali Motociclismo, menunjukkan motosikal berasaskan model touring Kawasaki Versys, tetapi dibezakan dengan penambahan unit hibrid.

Pembangunan ini sejajar dengan tawaran hibrid sedia ada Kawasaki, iaitu full-fairing Ninja 7 Hybrid dan naked Z 7 Hybrid. Sistem hibrid ini terdiri daripada motor elektrik 9kW yang beroperasi bersama dengan enjin 451cc yang bersilinder-kembar.

‘Versys Hybrid’ yang bakal muncul berbeza daripada model hibrid Kawasaki yang bakal masuk pasaran dunia pada tahun 2024 – Ninja 7 Hybrid dan Z 7 Hybrid, yang berkategori sportbike dan naked. Kategori-kategori ini memberi tumpuan kepada prestasi berbanding perjalanan jauh, dan amat berbeza dengan segmen touring.

Kelebihan hibrid dalam konteks touring melampaui pertimbangan jarak dan efficiency minyak sahaja. Motosikal hibrid memastikan operasi berterusan selepas bateri habis, kelebihannya terletak dalam keupayaannya untuk mengekalkan prestasi yang mantap semasa perjalanan yang panjang — sesuatu yang enjin tradisional yang bergantung pada satu punca kuasa untuk roda belakang tidak dapat tawarkan.

Walaupun bateri 1.4kWh yang kelihatan sederhana digunakan dalam Ninja 7 Hybrid dan Z 7 Hybrid, Kawasaki menggabungkannya dengan enjin konvensional, memberikan 69bhp ke roda belakang dalam kedua-dua model. Output ini, yang melebihi sedikit daripada 66bhp Versys 650, menekankan potensi prestasi yang berterusan untuk jarak yang panjang.

Walaupun Kawasaki belum membuat keputusan untuk beralih sepenuhnya dari model biasa kepada hibrid dengan prestasi yang setaraf, keberkesanan Versys hibrid untuk perjalanan jauh, bersama dengan penekanan Kawasaki terhadap penggunaan bahan api seperti motosikal 250cc pada motosikal hibrid sedia ada, menunjukkan kemungkinan Versys 650 dipertimbangkan untuk transformasi inovatif seumpama itu.

Kawasaki Versys Hybrid Under Development

An upcoming Kawasaki hybrid motorcycle has been uncovered through new patent illustrations. The images, disclosed by the Italian publication Motociclismo, depict a bike based on the Kawasaki Versys touring model, yet distinguished by the integration of a hybrid power unit, departing from the conventional internal combustion engine.

This development aligns with Kawasaki’s existing hybrid offerings, namely the faired Ninja 7 Hybrid and the naked Z 7 Hybrid. The hybrid system comprises a 9kW electric motor working in tandem with a 451cc parallel twin-cylinder combustion engine.

The prospective ‘Versys Hybrid’ signifies a departure from Kawasaki’s current partially electric models, the Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z 7 Hybrid, which cater to the sports and naked categories, respectively. These categories prioritize performance over extended journeys, unlike the touring segment.

The significance of a hybrid in the touring context goes beyond mere range considerations. While a hybrid ensures continued operation once the battery is depleted, its advantage lies in maintaining robust performance during lengthy rides—an assurance that traditional power units, relying on a single power source for the rear wheel, offer.

Despite the seemingly modest 1.4kWh battery employed in the Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z 7 Hybrid, Kawasaki couples it with the 451cc parallel twin, delivering 69bhp to the rear wheel in both models. This output, slightly surpassing the Versys 650’s 66bhp, emphasizes the potential for sustained performance over extended distances.

While Kawasaki has yet to commit to a complete transition from combustion models to hybrids with comparable performance, the efficacy of a hybrid Versys over extended distances, coupled with Kawasaki’s assertion of 250cc-like fuel consumption from its existing hybrid bikes, suggests the possibility of the Versys 650 being considered for such an innovative transformation.

Kawasaki ZX-10RR Winter Test Edition Terhad Kepada 25 Unit Sahaja!

The Kawasaki Ninja dianggap sebagai rentetan jentera supersport yang paling berjaya. Nama itu sendiri telah menjadi definisi sejati bagi sebuah sportbike, dengan golongan bukan peminat sering merujuk kepada mana-mana sportbike, tanpa mengira pengeluar, sebagai Ninja.

Walau bagaimanapun, status ikonik motosikal ini bukan tanpa sebab, kerana hingga hari ini, Ninja ZX-10RR adalah kompetitif dalam Kejohanan Dunia Superbike.

Untuk merayakan kejayaan ini, Kawasaki telah melancarkan versi terhad Ninja ZX-10RR yang dipanggil Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk. Terdapat Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk superbike pada masa lampau, biasanya dilancarkan menjelang akhir tahun di mana kebanyakan bahagian di hemisfera utara mengalami musim sejuk.

Namun, Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk 2024 Ninja ZX-10RR kini lebih istimewa, dengan hanya 25 unit yang akan dikeluarkan. Setiap motosikal telah direka dan disiapkan oleh Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT), dan mematuhi standard yang ketat pasukan perlumbaan.

Pemilik bertuah Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk 2024 akan mendapat motosikal yang dilapisi dengan livery yang serupa dengan motosikal WSBK KRT Ninja Ujian Musim Sejuk. Terdapat juga plat bernombor di pelindung tangki, serta sistem ekzos dari Akrapovic.

Untuk melengkapkan semuanya, pemilik motosikal baru ini akan mendapat pas VIP untuk dua orang untuk mengakses mana-mana pusingan WSBK 2024 pilihan mereka. Pas istimewa ini memberikan akses ke paddock semasa pusingan WSBK pilihan anda, serta akses VIP ke kemudahan dan kotak Pasukan Perlumbaan Kawasaki. Anda juga akan mendapat lawatan berpandu ke KRT Box, dan berpeluang berjumpa dengan pelumba Team Green, Alex Lowes dan Axel Bassani.

Selain daripada faedah istimewa dan ciri-ciri tambahan pada ZX-10RR Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk, motosikal ini merupakan jentera yang cukup power. Ia menyampaikan kuasa sebanyak 214 daya kuda hasil daripada enjin empat silinder sejajar sejajar 998cc, cecair sejuk, injeksi bahan api. Tork dinilai pada 119Nm, memberikan pecutan yang mantap.

Ciri-ciri lain termasuk satu set elektronik komprehensif seperti quick shifter, traction control dan just cornering management. Ada juga cruise control dan skin full-colour TFT.

Secara semulajadi, motosikal bertaraf ini akan menarik caj premium yang cukup tinggi, dan ZX-10RR Edisi Ujian Musim Sejuk bukanlah pengecualian. Harganya ialah 33,000 euro, yang bermaksud kira-kira MYR167,000 pada waktu penulisan ini.

Hanya 25 unit akan dijual, dengan 10 dikhaskan untuk pasaran Perancis. Belum ada berita samada motosikal ini akan tiba di Malaysia, tetapi tidak akan menjadi pilihan yang baik untuk berspekulasi jika saya di tempat anda.
