KAWASAKI ZZR1400 ABS (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, alongside the standard model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZZR1400 ABS, a sports motorcycle with the same package as the standard model but with an additional safety feature. As the name says, the bike was fitted with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

In the visual department, the motorcycle was 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.

The bike was built on a monocoque aluminum frame with a 43 mm inverted, fully adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a bottom-link uni-trak fully adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike was fitted with two 310 mm semi-floating petal discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 250 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel. The braking performance was enhanced by ABS, offering more safety and a shorter stopping distance.

In the performance department, the 2009 Kawasaki ZZR1400 ABS had its heartbeat set by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 193 hp at 9,500 rpm and 155 Nm (114 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
