The official factory team representing Kawasaki in global racing, Kawasaki Racing Team (KRT) stands at the forefront of Ninja performance and technology. KRT is the flagship of the Kawasaki brand, with a legacy of race-winning performance and cutting-edge technology development that is applied to every production Ninja motorcycle, pushing the boundaries on the track alongside the world’s best racers. The exclusive KRT styling, inspired by the WorldSBK championship-winning race bikes, is available on select 2017 Ninja motorcycles, empowering everyday riders with the ultimate racing spirit.

The Winter Test Edition paint and graphics scheme is used by the Kawasaki WorldSBK team during their off-season test sessions. The imposing stealth-like Matte Black scheme features minimal white graphics incorporating a snowflake with the Japanese symbol for winter. These graphics are applied for development test sessions where engine parts and fairing shapes are perfected to provide next year’s competitive advantage. The Winter Test Edition allows you to get closer to what factory racers and test riders experience while preparing for the next race season with the KRT Team.
