IMAGES OF the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R road bike have been leaked by US motorcycle magazine Cycle World.

The embargoed information has been put in print by the US mag, and published online by US site Hell for Leather.

Visordown has been followng the progress of the 2011 machine, bringing you first images of the company's World Superbike racer. British WSB man Tom Sykes has helped test the new machine. See the video of Sykes testing the WSB racer.

As expected, the new 10R features adjustable traction control system (S-KTRC) and anti-lock brake system (KIBS).

Other stuff? Big piston forks treatment, horizontally-mounted rear shock, titanium tubed/stainless steel exhaust and a healthy dose of pure racebike DNA.
