KAWASAKI ZZR1400 ABS (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki ZZR1400, also known as the ZX-14 and ZX-14R, was a sports motorcycle presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and released as a 2006 model year. The bike replaced the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R and continued production until 2022.

At its release, the bike was the most powerful motorcycle in Kawasaki's range, with a 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) time of only 2.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed at 299 kph (186 mph) due to an agreement between large Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers.

As with previous models, the 2007 motorcycle was equipped with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built on a monocoque aluminum frame with a 43 mm inverted adjustable fork on the front and a uni-trak gas-charged adjustable shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two semi-floating 310 mm petal discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering solid and reliable stopping power. As the name suggests, the 2007 ZZR1400 was fitted with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for more safety and shorter stopping distance.

In the performance department, the 2007 Kawasaki ZZR1400 ABS had its soul brought to life by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivering 193 hp at 9,500 rpm and 155 Nm (114 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
