kAWASAKI Zzr1400 abs 2013

See the latest Kawasaki ZZR1400 Offers

For 5 years the Kawasaki ZZR1400 ABS has remained relatively unchanged, however for 2013 it shares very little with its predecessor. The new bigger engine starts by offering not only more power but unprecidented torque figures. Do not be alarmed, the ZZR1400 for 2013 maintains its ease of use along with its smooth power delivery. Additionally there are now 2 available power modes, and the all new traction control also has 3 adjustable levels that can be selected in relation to surrounding conditions.

ABS has been further refined adding further to feel and therefore rider confidence in the systems.

Another new feature for the ZZR1400 is the back torque limiter (Slipper Clutch) that is provided to reduce rear wheel chatter or lock up during high rpm downshifts.

The Kawasaki ZX14 or Kawasaki ZZR1400 as it is known in the UK is a stunning motorcycle that turns its Ram air - fuel injected motor into a powerful, torquey sports tourer that will be excellent on any occasion. With a suggested top speed of around 200mph the ZZR1400 is the most powerful Kawasaki branded motorcycle and will challenge the best of the best and leave them wanting. It will ride at any speed - handle with assurance, has styling to draw a crowd at every stop and turn heads on every corner.

MCN headline for the previous model said it all - The Kawasaki ZZR1400 - 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Can you imagine, it took longer to read the statement than it would take for this bike to reach 60mph. This 2013 model exceeds it predecessor in every way.

The ZZR1400 is developed from the ZZR1200 and ZX12R has a chassis every bit equal to the power plant, with for 2013 its advanced aluminium monocoque frame to give responsive handling and lightweight feel it is a very slim and compact package. The engine position and Uni-Trak rear suspension linkage complementing the rigid frame gives the bike great controllability at high speeds and superb road holding when sports riding.

The bike also offers a relaxed riding position with low pegs for ample leg room, with its flowing design and the new design of quadruple projector beam headlights illuminating the road ahead this has to be the bike of choice.

There are less than subtle changes in the sculpture and curvature of the 2013 model that the sparkling Kawasaki blue paint scheme highlghts beautifully. These changes are not just cosmetic and have been implemented to ensure excellent stability at high speeds and improved heat dissipation from the engine..............

A functional work of art !!!

Changes to chassis, suspension and setup ensure that the bike is improved for town, open road and track use high speed cornering manouvers are very much enhanced with these modifications and greatly improve rider confidence. As far as straight line performance goes, there remains to be no contest.
