FUN SUPERBIKE PHOTO SHOOT
http://www.sulcs.lv/ - my website
I love bikes. I really enjoy shooting this kind of stuff. I had a blast doing it. Please don't be shy and visit my website and see my other work.

More about this bike in the video:

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a superbike and Kawasaki's follow-up to the ZX-9R sport bike. It was originally released in 2004 with minor revisions in 2005, it combines ultra-narrow chassis, low weight, radial brakes, and strong engine make it a very competitive package for its Japanese rivals: Suzuki's GSX-R 1000, Honda's CBR1000RR and Yamaha Motor Company's R1. In 2004 and 2005 the ZX-10R won Best Superbike from Cycle World magazine and the prestigious international Masterbike competition. It is known to be the most 'hard edged' or race oriented out of the Japanese one-liter inline four cylinder motorcycles, with relatively quick steering and a ferocious powerband.
The 2008 model has an MSRP of USD $11,549.
According to the National Institute of Highway Safety, The ZX-10R has the highest theft and damage loss claim rate of any registered motorcycle.
Kawasaki engineers utilized a "stack" design for a liquid-cooled, 998 cc inline four-cylinder engine. The crank axis, input shaft and output shaft of the "Ninja" ZX-10R engine are positioned in a triangular layout to reduce engine length, while the high-speed generator is placed behind the cylinder bank to reduce engine width. With a bore and stroke of 76 x 55 mm, the ZX-10R engine's one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly reduces weight and increases rigidity. The DOHC are machined from chromoly steel built for strength, four valves per cylinder improve high-rpm breathing, and the forged, lightweight pistons offer high heat resistance to further enhance the bike's power-to-weight ratio.
In addition to liquid cooling, the ZX-10R engine features an oil cooler adjacent to the oil filter to reduce oil temperatures. "Slosh" analysis was also used to design the internal structure of the oil pan, thereby reducing windage losses and helping to maintain low oil temperatures. The radiator is provided by Denso and helps reduce weight.
A multi-plate wet clutch with a back torque limiter transfers power to a six-speed, close-ratio transmission ideal for closed-course competition. The back-torque limiter automatically disengages the clutch under hard braking and deceleration to prevent rear wheel hop during corner entry. This also ensures complete control under hard braking.
A new six spoke wheel design is claimed to be almost as light as special purpose race wheels. The sidewall profile of the rear tire has been increased from 190/50/ZR17 to 190/55/ZR17.
