Do we see a new ZX 696 RR Ninja from Kawasaki is today’s main question?
2021 Kawasaki ZX-10RR
In November 2020, Kawasaki released the new ZX-10RR with much fanfare.
The machine has 998 cc, liquid-cool, 16 valve, 4-stroke in-line four calibrates to make 149.3 kW {203 hp}/ 13,200 rpm. And maximum power with ram air 156.8 kW {213 PS} / 13,200 rpm and 114.9 Nm {11.7 kgf.m} / 11,400 rpm.
The motor comes with finger followers. Essentially it means the valves are open longer and more significant duration to generate more power.
The new design looks sleeker and comes integrated with more punch and tech.

The same goes for the new ZX6R. However, the new 2021 follows the design of its earlier 2020 iteration.Which is a bit bulky. The 2021 ZX-6R weighs 425.6 lb (193 kgs).
The 636cc, 4-stroke, in-Line Four, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled calibrates to 94.9 kW (127.3 hp) @ 13,500 RPM and 70.6 Nm (52.1 lb-ft) @ 11,500 RPM.
The critical thought Kawasaki doesnt have a machine that produces the power. Which is between 127.3 hp that 2021 Kawasaki ZX-6R makes and 203 hp that 2021 Kawasaki ZX-10RR makes.
Can Kawasaki fill this gap with the ZX-696 RR Ninja? Essentially it will be a new lightweight platform with more punch.
And this is what Bezzi thinks, and here is his proposal on the new platform.It will also open lot of opportunities for Kawasaki.

KAWASAKI will also have the challenge to make the 650/700 sports bicylinder with the best features and performances?
We think that in the ′′ man ′′ branding among the world’s biggest producers. In proposing the future ‘ light ‘ super sportive, even KAWASAKI will have his say, presenting the ZX 696 RR NINJA.
Would equip Bicylindrical front March with a new propeller and great features to compete in the market.
And competitions for this type of means, especially in America. But we think they will become popular everywhere.
Because of the cylinder and the conformation of the propeller.It is developing exaggerated powers.
It will be on the level of driving ability and therefore of the characteristics of cycling, which will play success in the category.
And on this level, KAWASAKI won’t leave anything to chance.Equipping its own bicylindrical supersport with the best available to date in terms of technique and components.
Leaving aside their products’ reliability and comfort skills suitable for everyday roads. The new NINJA will have riding and setting cycling typical racing, even if the bike will be regularly approved.
With a power of more than 100 HP and less than 170 kg in running order. The new hypothetical KAWASAKI could certainly be well placed in the top positions.
