Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 (also known as ZZR1400) is a hyper sport motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and is currently their most powerful sport bike. It was introduced at the Tokyo 2005 show and released for the 2006 model year as a replacement for the ZX-12R. Its direct competitor in the hyper sport segment is the Suzuki Hayabusa.
It is capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 186 mph (299 km/h). This limit has been in effect on both Kawasaki and Suzuki sport motorcycles since 2001 when both companies realized that the speed war between them would only serve to bring about government regulation. However, the Ninja also has been reported at speeds of 210 mph with its limiter removed.
Price: $12,099 – $12,399
Features
| 1,352cc Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine |
• Tuned to provide smooth power across a very wide rev range, while producing impressive horsepower numbers
• Chrome composite plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability at high power outputs
• Carefully planned engine design is compact and narrow Low mechanical noise via special piston profile and urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain cover
|
|
| Exhaust |
• Airflow into the exhaust from the large secondary air ports in the cylinder head and head cover, plus a third honeycomb catalyzer in the collector help meet strict Euro III emissions standards
• Internal silencer construction minimizes impact of emissions regulations while maintaining impressive top-end power
• Exhaust connecting tube entrances are designed to enhance low rpm torque characteristics
|
|
| Gear-Driven Dual Engine Balancers |
• Already in perfect primary balance, dual secondary balancers virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and reduced rider fatigue
|
|
| Ram Air Induction |
• Central ram air duct draws the cooler, higher-pressure air from the face of the fairing and efficiently guides it through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power output
|
|
| Digital Fuel Injection |
• 44mm Mikuni throttle bodies are fitted with sub-throttle valves, controlled by the ECU to provide precise response, make DFI® performance smoother, and help meet Euro III emission requirements
• Intake porting optimizes flow characteristics
• Injectors deliver lateral spray at a 20 degree angle to disperse the finely-atomized fuel over a wider area
• Fine-atomizing injectors produce 75µ droplet size
• 32-bit ECU works with dual throttle valve system to further enhance throttle response and control
|
|
| Digital Ignition |
• Digital Timing Advance enhances low-and mid-range power
• Individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each of the four sparkplugs independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder at that instant
• ECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-up
|
|
| Radial Pump Clutch Master Cylinder |
• Hydraulic clutch features a radial-pump clutch master cylinder for smooth and precise clutch engagement and feel
|
|
| Next-Generation Monocoque Aluminum Frame |
• Lightweight, monocoque frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot. It is narrow, strong, rigid and very light
• Frame’s cast aluminum sections
• steering head and swing arm pivot areas – are produced with a die casting process for further weight savings
• Rigidly mounted engine is a stressed frame member, which increases the frame’s torsional rigidity and saves approximately four pounds
• Engine positioned forward in the frame, with the wheelbase and front/rear weight balance carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handling
• Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity
• Frame houses the air box and air filter in a space-saving design that simplifies air cleaner maintenance
• Battery is also housed within the frame and has simple access through the back side of the frame
|
|
| Suspension |
• Inverted 43mm cartridge type front fork utilizes damping rates that offer stiff initial action to resist front-end dive when braking
• Stepless damping adjustment improves suspension performance
• Excellent control and feedback from fully adjustable bottom-link Uni-Trak® rear suspension
• Linkage rates provide linear suspension action
• Bottom-link design concentrates helps create a lower center of gravity, which makes the motorcycle more nimble
• Wheel rim center ribs are slightly offset so tire balance weights can be located precisely along the wheel’s centerline
|
|
| Radial Mounted Petal Front Disc Brakes |
• Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers offer greater rigidity than traditional caliper mounting, to improve brake feel
• A separate brake pad is used for each piston. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming, so they maintain a consistent brake feel longer
• Petal design brake discs provide better cooling and warp resistance
• Radial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and lever feel
|
|
| Wind Tunnel-Designed Bodywork |
• Monocoque frame goes over the engine so the sleek fairing is uninterrupted by protruding frame spars, adding to the extremely long and low styling
• Both the front and rear turn signals are integrated into the bodywork and have clear lenses to enhance the appearance
• Quadruple projector beam headlights give the ZX-14 a distinctive front fairing. The outer lights contain position lamps and the high beams, while the low beams are in the center lamps
• Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides maximum cooling efficiency
|
|
| Full Instrumentation |
• White faced dual analog speedometer and tachometer are easy to read
• Multi-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, two trip meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator and a clock
• Programmable shift indicator lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal rider upshift
• Programmable clutch engagement lamp illuminates at pre-set rpm to signal the rider to engage the clutch
• Controller Area Network (CAN) interface between the gauges uses fewer wires yet allows a greater volume of information, such as estimated fuel mileage, to be exchanged
