Power can be increased to 51 HP at 15,500 rpm with the aid of an air box, with maximum torque reaching 22.9 Nm (2.3 kgm) at 14,500 rpm. [2]

It is produced in Indonesia and Thailand as a successor to the Ninja ZX-2R/ZXR250, which was produced between 1988 and 2004 (Malaysian market).This motorcycle was first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2019, to then be launched on the Asian market on July 10, 2020.

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R is a motorcycle in the Ninja sport bike series made by Kawasaki from 2000 through 2006. The 1,199 cc (73.2 cu in) inline-four engine produced 178 hp (133 kW) at low speed, and increased to 190 hp (140 kW) at high speed due to its ram-air intake, making it the most powerful production motorcycle up to 2006 and the release of the ZX-14. It was a contender to be the fastest production motorcycle, and played a role in bringing to a truce the escalating competition to build an ever-faster motorcycle. Its top speed was electronically limited to 186 mph (300 km/h), tying it with the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 as the fastest production motorcycle on the market, after the 303–312 km/h (188–194 mph) 1999 Hayabusa was replaced with a speed-limited version as part of a gentlemen's agreement between motorcycle manufacturers that lasted until the 298–311 km/h (185.4–193.24 mph) 2007 MV Agusta F4 R 312.
