new and improved items: 90 in the engine
bay and 116 others sprinkled throughout like pixie dust to magically transform
it from an over-achieving, dragon-slayer into an over-achieving, yet kinder,
gentler beast. Here are the bike’s major, personality-transforming highlights.

R: In the wild world of editorial hyperbole, there’s no such
thing as horsepower overload or a bike that carries its front wheel too often.

simple one: This wasn’t an engineering decision at all; it was a marketing
call—apparently against the white coats’ wishes, no less. Man, those guys in
green really are listening and fighting for us.

tallying qualifying performance: 1:23.61

The culprit: Dunlop’s latest-generation high-end rubber that doesn’t yet come in
the 10’s new-spec 190/55 rear tire size. As a workaround, we had to make do with
the 4-1/2mm taller (from axle to ground) 190/50 Sportmax GP. This increased tire
height, which was exacerbated by their growth when heated, steepened the bike’s
rake, naturally making it less stable over bumps at high speed.

more of everything racers and highly skilled street riders need: prodigious
torque and smooth power to pull cleanly out of corners, sharp handling to
effortlessly knife through tricky combinations, uncompromised stability and
incredible brakes wrapped up in a handsome, well thought-out, hospitable
package. The previously mentioned tire-induced headshake and the big Kawi’s
slight resistance to turn-in under trail braking were the only chinks found in
the ZX-10’s stately armor.
