Known for being one of the fastest production bikes, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 is returning in 2012 with even more performance upgrades. |
KING OF ALL SPORT BIKESDirectly descended from the original Ninja, Kawasaki's newest flagship is the ultimate blend of Extreme Excitement and Everyday Versatility. Not only is it the world's fastest accelerating production motorcycle, but superb handling and balanced performance (care of advanced technology and numerous comfort features) ensure riders are equally at home carving up twisty roads in the hills, heading across the border to meet friends for lunch or deftly weaving through city traffic, as they are hurtling down the dragstrip. The Ninja ZX-14R proudly stands at the head of Kawasaki's Ninja line-up, but its almighty performance makes it the King of All Sport Bikes. |
STRONGEST ACCELERATING PRODUCTION MOTORCYCLE ON THE PLANETDesigned to settle the issue of supremacy in the flagship class once and for all, the Ninja ZX-14R’s new engine boasts an increased displacement and thorough engine tuning to deliver heady levels of power and unrivalled acceleration. The step up in performance over its predecessor is readily apparent, with more available torque across the rev range and substantially higher upper-end power. And with the notably stronger acceleration, twisting the throttle past 4,000 rpm may result in a sensation not entirely unlike that experienced by astronauts breaking free from the Earth’s gravitational pull. |
