Released: 08-09 ZX-10



The 2008-2009 Kawasaki ZX-10 R is smaller, skinnier, and sharper than ever before. It's sized like a 750 machine that responds sharply and with total cooperation. The throttle response is tight and instant without being too abrupt.

The Kawasaki 2009 ZX-10R churns out a hair raising 162hp. Strap on an HMF Street Series Slip-On Exhaust System and you'll increase the horse power up to 168hp and notice a big drop in weight. We took this bike and brought it to a whole new riding level with a simple slip on system.

All HMF exhausts feature 304 stainless steel flanges, headpipes & S-bends. Our shells are available in tough T6061 aluminum or lightweight Carbon Kevlar. The inside has volumized, high performance glass wool packing for durability and is significantly lighter when compared to stock systems.
