If Johnny Rea wants something, he'll get it. Such is the superpower that comes with being the most dominant rider in WSBK history and helping Kawasaki become the dominant manufacturer from the moment he joined the team.
Actually, this is the story behind the appearance of the latest iteration of the 2022 Kawasaki ZX-10R. It cannot be called completely created from scratch, but it has received quite significant improvements compared to the previous model, thanks to which Johnny will be able to leave everyone else in the status of catching up.
Of course, when someone finds themselves at such peaks as Ri or Kawasaki, there are immediately those who want to push them out of there. In this case, the threat comes from a certain red Italian rival with a fire-breathing V-four under the veneer. They were hot on the heels of Ree and his ZX-10R, and became the reason why Kawasaki designers sat down at their virtual drawing boards with the clear task of making an even more serious weapon for Johnny for 2022. And given the rules of World Superbike, changes to a racing motorcycle begin with changes to the civilian version. So it's not just Johnny who's lucky, we're all lucky
