KAWASAKI ZX-9R: Another impressive showing by a ram-air-equipped Kawasaki. Even though the intake ducts are smaller than the ZX-7R's, the Nine's airbox pressure builds quickly (albeit a tad rougher than the 7R), peaking at 28mb. It's also interesting to note that the Nine's slimmer ram-air ducts run over the frame spars, while the 7R's ducts run through the frame spars; yet the Nine's airbox pressure builds much quicker and higher. It makes you wonder what kind of pressure the new ZX-12 is going to make.
