2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R ABS First Look

Despite winning the 2015 World Superbike championship in dominant fashion with Jonathan Rea, and the 2013 title before that with Rea’s teammate Tom Sykes, Kawasaki isn’t resting on its laurels when it comes to its aging Ninja ZX-10R platform and today announced its successor in the 2016 Ninja ZX-10R.

How Much More Would the Insurance Cost for an 18-year-old (clean Driving Record) on a Kawasaki Ninja ZX -10R ABS Vs. a 30-year-old?
