GREAT LOOKS, FUN TO RIDE AND USER-FRIENDLY
Every now and then a manufacturer builds a motorcycle that defines their brand in the marketplace. For Kawasaki, that motorcycle is the Ninja ZX-14.
The most powerful production motorcycle in the world, the Ninja ZX-14 sets new performance standards with the most unbelievable, absolutely-jaw-dropping acceleration you have ever experienced. But what makes the Ninja ZX-14 even more incredible is the absolute finesse with which it commands this power. Smooth and linear from idle to redline, you don’t have to be a world champion to control this machine.
But it’s not just about horsepower; the Ninja ZX-14 combines its earth-shattering engine performance with exquisite handling and stability, sleek aerodynamics and superbly comfortable ergonomics, creating the ultimate long-range hyper-sports weapon.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
 |
The Ultimate Engine
An evolution of the Ninja ZX-12R powerplant, the ZX-14’s 1,352cc four-cylinder, DOHC engine features a larger bore and stroke while retaining virtually the same compact external dimensions. Utilising such high-tech features as chrome composite plated aluminium cylinders and a 32-bit digital fuel injection system, this is Kawasaki's most powerful production motorcycle ever built !
| |
 |
Turbine-Like Power Delivery
Even more incredible than the ZX-14’s astonishing levels of horsepower is the amazing finesse and control with which it delivers it. The superbly linear spread of torque delivers a seamless flow of power from idle to redline that belies the potential of the fire-breathing animal that lies beneath. | |
 |
Digital Fuel Injection
44mm Mikuni throttle bodies are controlled by a 32-bit Electronic Control Unit featuring a dual throttle valve system to provide instant throttle response and a silky smooth power delivery. The system maximises horsepower while reducing emissions and improving fuel economy. | |
 |
Ram Air Induction
A central Ram Air duct feeds cool, high-pressure air from the front of the fairing in a direct path through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power output - As speed increases, so does the air pressure, effectively force-feeding the engine. | |
 |
Aerodynamic Styling
Kawasaki’s many years of developing high performance aircraft have come to the fore with the styling of the ZX-14’s sleek, aerodynamic bodywork. Highlighted by striking quadruple projector headlights and a unique V-shaped LED tail light, the ZX-14 is nothing short of stunning – from start to finish. | |
 |
Next Generation Chassis
An advanced version of Kawasaki’s unique aluminium monocoque design, The ZX-14’s chassis is every bit the equal of its power plant. Essentially a hollow aluminium box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot, the frame utilises the engine as a stressed-member to greatly increase the monocoque’s torsional rigidity.
| |
 |
Precision Handler
Thanks to the forward positioning of the engine, engineers were able to carefully select the wheelbase dimensions and front/rear weight distribution to achieve incredible high speed stability and the kind of fast, responsive handling you never thought a ‘big bike’ was capable of. | |
 |
Powerful, Responsive Front Braking
Radial mounted 4-piston front brake callipers grip large diameter petal discs for strong, controlled braking. The petal design provides improved cooling and warp-resistance while a single pad-per-piston (Instead of one larger pad for each side) reduces the possibility of pad deformation.
| |
 |
Perfect Ergonomics
Compact without being cramped, the ZX-14 offers a very relaxed sports-riding position with the handlebars positioned so they can be reached without a stretch. Low-set foot pegs and a slim chassis provide ample legroom while the low seat height ensures your feet can be firmly planted when at a stop. | |
 |
Full Instrumentation
The ZX-14 features a sleek, modern instrument cluster with an easy-to-read, white-faced analogue speedometer and tachometer plus a multi-function LCD digital display incorporating a fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip meters, odometer and clock.
