The Kawasaki ZZR1400, also known as the Ninja ZX-14 and ZX-14R was a sports motorcycle first presented at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and released into the world in 2006 as a replacement for the Kawasaki ZZ-R1200.

At its release, the 2006 ZZR1400 was Kawasaki's most powerful sports motorcycle, capable of accelerating from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.5 seconds. Also, due to an agreement between major Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers, the bike's top speed was electronically limited to 299 kph (186 mph).

In 2016, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZZR1400 Performance Sport, a sports machine representing an intoxicating blend of engineering, style, and performance.

The bike featured an aggressive appearance with standard features, such as a full fairing, a tinted windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and Y-shaped five-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike packed a 43 mm fully adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and a comfortable riding experience.

As for the power figures, the 2016 Kawasaki ZZR1400 Performance Sport had its soul brought to life by a 1,441cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak force at 10,000 and 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
