MSRP excludes destination fees, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees.Everything about the Ninja ZX-14R ANTILOCKING BRAKES sportbike is big: Big displacement, big horsepower, big accolades. Life is pretty good at the top of the heap. When you make more power than any other production sportbike on the planet, as the ZX-14R does, the character of the power delivery is as important as the actual number of horses. To that end, the surface-milled combustion chamber shapes and polished intake ports provide the benefits of racing's black art porting straight from the factory. Consequently, all elements of the induction system work in a coordinated manner, maintaining the Ninja tradition of smooth power delivery. Key Features One-of-a-kind 1,441cc inline-four engine is the most massively powerful motorcycle engine Kawasaki has ever produced, delivering the most power of any current production sportbike in the world ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM brake option helps increase rider confidence and helps provide additional alarm in slippery situations KTRC traction-control system addresses varying riding conditions via 3 different modes controlled by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebar Slipper clutch assembly helps control chassis upset from rear-wheel torque effects while braking and downshifting High performance exhaust system features large-diameter 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 that complements the engine's power Aluminum swingarm assembly is longer than traditional designs and incorporates strengthening gussets to withstand the engine's substantial torque Supersport bodywork package embraces the visual cues of Kawasaki siblings, includes a rear seat cowl and adds better air management for improved rider and passenger comfort All-new 10-spoke wheels are more than 3 lbs lighter in total than the previous generation's, reducing unsprung weight for better handling and maneuverability Radial-mount calipers feature individual pads for each piston, improving heat management Balanced suspension settings front and rear for a comfortable ride without sacrificing performance Flagship-worthy finish quality with 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 long term durability Strong cam chain and tensioning system offers excellent high-rpm durability Thick 40mm crankshaft main journals contribute to longterm 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 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 draws cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the larger and more efficient air cleaner and into the reworked engine for max power outputDigital Fuel Injection DFI throttle body assembly features individual 44mm throttle bodies fitted with an idle speed control and sub-throttle valves controlled by the 32-bit ECU. They provide precise response, smooth performance, automatic idle speed adjustment, and help the bike meet strict Euro III emissions requirements High performance intake tract porting optimizes flow characteristics Fuel injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20-degree angle to disperse the finely atomized (75-micron droplet size) fuel over a wide areaDual-Mode Digital Ignition Rider selectable Full & Low power maps offer a choice between full power and approx 50 percent power output to help suit changing conditions Digital Timing Advance enhances low and mid-range power Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the 4 spark plugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-upKTRC Traction Control KTRC traction-control system features 3 different selectable modes to suit rider preference and different riding conditions Modes are selected by a handy switch assembly on the left handlebar Modes are indicated on the LCD cockpit displayBack-Torque Limiting Slipper Clutch Back-torque limiting slipper clutch assembly helps control rear-wheel torque effects while downshifting or coasting to minimize wheel hop, chatter and reduce rider stress Radial-pump hydraulic clutch master cylinder offers smooth and precise engagement and optimal feel at the leverABS Disc Brakes with Petal-type Rotors and Radial-Mount Calipers ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM brakes offer excellent performance and enhanced confidence in adverse conditions Compact, lightweight ANTILOCKING BRAKES unit is highly effective without weighing the bike down Petal-type brake rotors provide better cooling and enhanced warp resistance than traditional discs Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting to improve brake feel A separate brake pad is pre-owned for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer Radial-pump front brake master cylinder provides excellent lever feel and feedbackMonocoque Aluminum Frame Lightweight monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swingarm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light Many of the frame's cast aluminum sections steering head and swingarm pivot areas are produced via a die-casting process for weight savings Rigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame's torsional rigidity and saves weight vs. traditional designs Engine is positioned forward i

Snowjob
Sun, 05 Feb 2012Is the current weather causing your commute a bit of problem? Sounds like a job for the Snowjob. Pictured here using a Kawasaki, the Snowjob conversion system turns your motorcycle into a jumping, wheelieing snowcycle in less than four hours. Derek Hine designed the Snowjob back in '73, but it looks like it could be just as handy today.
Results From Day 2 Of World Supersport Testing At Phillip Island
Tue, 18 Feb 2014If there’s one constant when it comes to World Supersport racing, it’s that Kenan Sofuoglu will be at or near the front at all times. The former champ has a special ability when it comes to lapping middleweight sportbikes as quickly as possible, and it showed again at the conclusion of World Supersport testing at Phillip Island. Sofuoglu’s best time of 1:33.506 was set during the first day of testing, but still nobody was able to beat it.
