Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R photo gallery

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is also known as the ZZR1400 in European markets

Green is synonymous of Kawasaki. It is the strongest accelerating production motorcycle.

The bike is simply ‘big’ from any angle you look at it

With a wheelbase of 1,480mm, the ZX-14R is a long bike too

Rear end is not as high as other supersport bikes

Design language is rather simple, no edgy treatment anywhere

With dual XL sized exhaust pipes, the rear looks heavy as well

Tank and the pillion seat are almost at the same height

Quadruple projector headlamp setup, split into two. A white pilot lamp positioned on either end.

Air duct between the headlamps

Windscreen is bubble shaped, and works perfect in deflecting wind when you lean forward

Cockpit view

Instrument cluster gets analogue speedometer and tachometer with a MID in between. MID includes external air temperature, DTE, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, odometer, clock and dual trip meters.

When you turn the ignition on, the instrument cluster performs a test run

No electronic damper on the handlebar, as seen on the Ninja ZX-10R

Track spec short throttle cables. RHS control switch houses the kill-switch and the electric starter.

Clutch and brake levers are adjustable

LHS control switch houses the horn, turn indicators, hazard light switch, high / low beam and a switch to toggle the MID and change power modes

Front disc brake fluid on the handlebar

Set the rear view mirror in your desired position, and later, you can adjust the viewing angle separately. Notice the shape of the rear view mirror, that is for better aerodynamics.

Dual semi-floating 310mm petal discs. Caliper is a dual radial-mount, opposed 4-piston, with 4-pads.

Thematic quadruple fins on the side fairings. On the 2014 model, they are seen in black, the 2013 version was green.

Ninja nomenclature on the fairing and a turn indicator below

Tank looks massive. You feel this when you notice the rider-seat to handlebar travel range.

Kawasaki badge on the tank, will need thorough cleaning

XL sized, hard tank pad

Exhaust pipes making their way out from the engine which is a 1,441cc, 16 vavle, DOHC, liquid-cooled, in-line four cylindr engine producing 200 PS of power and 162.5 Nm of torque

KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) and ABS stickers on the front mudguard

Big radiator to keep the ‘big’ engine cool

Horn mounted in front of the radiator

Two XL sized radiator fans. Audible when the bike is turned off.

Foot pegs have a rubberised top end, for better grip

Look at that huge exhaust pipe, all-black

If your pillion rider wears heels, scratches on the exhaust pipe are inevitable

Close look at the exhaust pipe

Notice the reversed gear lever

New gunfighter-style seats’ sculpted shape provides hip support during strong acceleration. Slimmer at the front, it also facilitates the reach to the ground when stopped at lights.
