The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 was introduced in 2005 at the Tokyo Motor Show and released in 2006 as the most powerful motorcycle in the Ninja sport bike series and also as a replacement for the Kawasaki ZZ-R1200.
The bike was capable of accelerating from 0-96 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2,5 seconds, while the top speed was electronically limited to 299 kph (186 mph) as a result of an agreement between the major Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers.
Over the years, the bike featured minor updates and a second-generation revision in 2012 when Kawasaki added the R suffix to its name along with a displacement increase for more power and two variable power modes, The Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) and an ignition management system borrowed from the ZX-10R.
Also, for the first time, the bike featured a slipper clutch along with cosmetic updates, chassis upgrades, and revised suspension internals.
In 2016, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZX-14R ABS, an ultra-powerful motorcycle with a 1,441cc engine along with advanced electronics, an innovative monocoque frame, and aggressive bodywork that placed it at the top of its class with a real head-turner effect.
The 2016 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS had at its core a 1,441cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 154 Nm (113 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
