What is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (ZX1000-C1) power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 46.69 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (ZX1000-C1) weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 402.7 lb (182.7 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
