Since its introduction in 1994 the Kawasaki ZX-9R has undergone several major revisions. In 1998 the power was increased and weight reduced - with obvious benefits. However despite the improvements, the ZX-9R was up against the all-new Yamaha R1 and popular Honda Fireblade. Out of the three, the ZX-9R was the best for touring, but worst for power and handling.

In 2001 and 2002 further redesigns improved the ZX-9R even more. The changes included superior brakes - replacing soft 6-piston units for smaller, yet superior, 4 piston units, a stiffer frame, braced rear swingarm. The styling was also updated with headlights and air intakes borrowed from the ZX-12R.
