KAWASAKI ZZR1400 (2009-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki ZZR1400, also known as the Ninja ZX-14 and ZX-14R in other markets, was a sports bike part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range. The bike debuted in 2006, replacing the ZZ-R1200 model, and was manufactured until 2022.

At its release, the ZZR1400 model was the most powerful sports bike in Kawasaki's range, with 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) acceleration in only 2.5 seconds. In addition, the bike's top speed was electronically limited to 299 kph (186 mph).

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZZR1400, a sports machine equipped with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

As for power, the 2009 Kawasaki ZZR1400 had its soul brought to life by a 1.352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, delivering 190 hp at 9,500 rpm and 154 Nm (114 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed manual gearbox with a wet multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 304 kph (189 mph).

As for braking performance, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 semi-floating petal discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear.
