New Custom Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14



The 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 can best be considered the Kawibusa. It is an arrow directed from Team Green right into the heart of Suzukis iconic Hayabusa hypersupermegabike (also known as Widowmaker), and as such it is a supremely successful one. While prior to the advent of the latest models of the Ninja ZX-14 Special Edition the Suzuki was the only game in town, there is now a valid alternative option.

Kawasaki reported introduced their new Ninja ZX-14 2011 that pointed to fight with Suzuki Hayabusa.Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 comes with engine 4-strokes 1,352 cc, liquid cooled, DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder.The bike that uses hydraulic clutch and 6 speeds also applied a brake system called KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System).

The exact horsepower and torque figures of the Ninja ZX-14 are irrelevant, but a track day will tell you anything there is to know. As for the brakes, what we do know is that each piston in the calipers has its own brake pad, which increases cooling efficiency and decreases the chance deforming due to heat.

Uninterrupted fairing lines give the ZX-14 a smooth, flowing aesthetic image, all of which is made possible by the narrow frame/engine design that’s completely hidden by the cowling. Quadruple projector beam headlights adorn the ZX-14’s fairing immediately beneath its menacing ram air intake duct. Turn signals are cleanly integrated into the fairing and standard rear seat cowl, with a unique “V” design LED tail lamp capping off a sleek, aerodynamic package that reinforces Kawasaki’s aircraft heritage.
