Segment: Sport / Super Sport
Production years: 2013, 2014
In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS, a motorcycle that benefitted from all the technology that Japanese engineers have developed over many racing years.
The bike came powered by a 1,441cc powerplant, which was the most powerful engine ever produced for a production motorcycle at the time, hidden under an aggressive supersport bodywork that delivered great aerodynamics and weather protection.
The engine was fed by a digital fuel injection system fitted with idle speed control, managed by a 32-bit Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that provided precise response and smooth performance and also helped on meeting EURO3 emissions requirements.
The bike featured a central ram air duct located in the front fairing, which draws cooler, high-pressured air sucked into a large and efficient air cleaner, which at full potential delivered a maximum power output of 210 hp at 10,500 rpm.
In addition, the bike featured a Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) system that offered three different selectable modes for personal preferences and various riding conditions and a back-torque limiting clutch assembly that controlled the rear wheel torque effects for minimized wheel hop at downshifting or coasting.
In the performance department, the 2014 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS motorcycle took its thrust from a 1,441cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp at 10,500 rpm and 154 Nm (113 lb-ft) of torque at 7,500 rpm.
