Kawasaki Other description

The massively more powerful, R-designated, Ninja ZX-14R made its debut last year as an almost entirely new motorcycle. It remains on-top for 2013, reigning as the undisputed king of the sportbike world. New optional ANTI LOCK BRAKES brakes complement its amazing comfort and usability on the street, and help increase its appeal to a wide range of riders. It has to be tough competing against a machine like the ZX-14R, year after year, and continuous refinements have kept it several steps ahead of the sportbike competition, all while filling enthusiasts' face shields with wild, ear-to-ear grins.Key Features Massively powerful 1,441cc inline-four engine is the strongest motorcycle engine Kawasaki has ever produced and delivers the most power of any current production sportbike in the world KTRC traction-control system features 3 different modes for varying conditions and is controlled by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebar Slipper clutch assembly controls rear-wheel torque effects while braking and downshifting Exhaust system features tapered head pipes, a catalyzer and an efficient muffler assembly for low noise and emissions Aluminum monocoque frame is narrow, strong and rigid for impressive sport riding performance Aluminum swingarm assembly is longer than traditional designs and features strengthening gussets to cope with the engine's substantial torque Supersport bodywork package builds upon the slick aesthetic image of the previous machine, includes a rear seat cowl and adds better air management to the mix for improved rider and passenger comfort All-new 10-spoke wheels are more than 3lbs lighter in total than the previous machine's units; this reduces unsprung weight, which aids handling and maneuverability New disc material and pads improve the 14R's radial-mount braking system Revised suspension settings front and rear add wheel control and compliance to an already plush ride Higher overall finish quality than before, including hidden bodywork fasteners1,441cc 4 cyl Liquid-Cooled DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT Engine Long-stroke design, ported cylinder heads, lightweight forged pistons, and aggressive camshaft profiles provide more torque and power throughout the rev range than any other production sportbike Piston jet system sprays a continuous stream of cooling lubrication to the underside of each piston for cooler running temperatures, more consistent power output and excellent longterm durability Strong cam chain and tensioning system offers excellent high-rpm durability Thick 40mm crankshaft main journals contribute to long term engine durability Surface and heat treatments allow the transmission gears to better harness the engine's prodigious power output Chrome composite-plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and effectively transfer heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for max durability at high power outputs Mechanical noise is kept to a min via special piston profiles and a urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain coverHigh-flow Exhaust System Header assembly has tapered-diameter pipes for optimal engine response and power output The internal construction of the dual mufflers minimizes the impact of noise and emissions regulations, while maintaining impressive top-end power Airflow directed into the exhaust by the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a 3rd honeycomb catalyzer in the exhaust collector, help meet strict Euro III emissions standardsGear-driven Dual Engine Balancers Revised balance weights keep the newly dimensioned engine (more stroke) in ideal balance, resulting in improved comfort for riders and passengers Already in perfect primary balance, the ZX-14R's engine design features dual secondary balancers that virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth operation and reduced rider fatigueRam Air Induction Central ram air duct in the newly shaped fairing
