KAWASAKI ZZR1400 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

Presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and released in 2006, the Kawasaki ZZR1400, also known as the Ninja ZX-14 or ZX-14R, was the most powerful sports machine in Kawasaki's range, replacing the ZZ-R1200.

The 2006 ZZR1400 could accelerate from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.5 seconds. In addition, the bike's top speed was electronically limited at 299 kph (186 mph) due to an agreement between major Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZZR1400, an aggressive-looking machine fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and lightweight five Y-shaped spoke wheels.

In the handling department, the bike packed a 43 mm inverted, fully adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a bottom-link uni-trak fully adjustable shock absorber on the rear fitted on an aluminum monocoque frame, offering excellent handling capabilities.

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

As for the power figures, the 2010 Kawasaki ZZR1400 had its soul brought to life by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 193 hp at 9,500 rpm and 155 Nm (114 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
