The fastest motorcycle on the planet ... Again.

A direct descendant of the original Ninja, the new ZX-14R ABS has once again claimed its rightful place as the world’s fastest accelerating production motorcycle. Utilising advanced engine design and tuning technology, the ZX-14R produces unprecedented levels of power and torque and combines it with a supremely balanced chassis and confidence-inspiring ABS braking to deliver the kind of effortlessly natural handling you could have only dreamed of.

Kawasaki’s most powerful motorcycle engine yet

The Ninja ZX-14R’s new engine boasts an increased displacement and thorough engine tuning to deliver heady levels of power and unrivalled acceleration. The step up in performance over its predecessor is readily apparent, with more available torque across the rev range and substantially higher upper-end power. Acceleration is notably stronger once the throttle is twisted past 4000rpm.

sports handling with stability and usability

The new ZX-14R retains the same light, neutral handling characteristics of its predecessor, as well as the relaxed, sport riding position… but with a sportier edge. The ZX-14R’s new aluminium monocoque frame features completely revised chassis rigidity and sportier suspension to provide sharp, responsive handling while ensuring rock-steady high-speed stability.

Traction Control + ABS Braking

The Ninja ZX-14R has a better grip on the road than ever before thanks to KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) offering 3 riding modes - 2 modes for enhanced sport riding performance when you want it, and a peace-of-mind conservative mode for when you need it. Add to this an updated and revised ABS braking system optimised for improved braking performance on bumpy road conditions, and you've got one of the most confidence-inspiring motorcycles Kawasaki has ever developed.

Imposing presence + Impeccable finish quality.

The Ninja ZX-14R exudes an aura of power and assurance found only in the world’s most powerful machines. With sensuous curves combined with sharp edges to create dynamic surfaces, the ZX-14R’s voluminous tail and balanced design ensures that Kawasaki’s latest Ninja flagship cuts an imposing figure from any angle. And just wait until you see the fit & finish. Befitting of Kawasaki’s Ninja flagship, extra attention to detail has been paid to ensure a level of unparalleled refinement.

Power Mode Selection

A choice of Full Power or Low Power modes allows riders to set power delivery to suit preference and conditions. Low Power mode limits output to approximately 75% of Full Power and uses a milder throttle response. Reduction of both power and throttle response varies according to engine speed (rpm), throttle position and gear position.

Back-torque Limiter

The ZX-14R’s easily adjustable back-torque limiting clutch facilitates smooth downshifts and helps prevent rear wheel hopping. In addition to assisting with control, the back-torque limiter also helps protect the drivetrain.

Lightweight Wheels

All-new wheels offer significant weight savings over the ZX-14R’s predecessor. The front wheel is 360g lighter and the rear wheel saves 1030g, for a total reduction of 1.39 kg. The reduced rotational inertia and lower unsprung weight increase the bike’s flickability, contributing to the sportier handling.
