2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R packs a 1,441cc inline-four that produces significantly more power than any other production sport bike on the planet! Big power delivered smoothly has always been a big Ninja hallmark, so surface-milled combustion chamber shapes and polished intake ports provide maximum flow while working in concert with the rest of the induction system. This ultimate Ninja really does come "ported" straight from the factory.
The massively more powerful, R-designated,2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R made its debut last year as an almost entirely new motorcycle. It remains on-top for 2013, reigning as the undisputed king of the sport bike world. New ABS brakes complement its amazing comfort and usability on the street, and help increase its appeal to a wide range of riders. It has to be tough competing against a machine like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, year after year, and continuous refinements have kept it several steps ahead of the sport bike competition, all while filling enthusiasts' face shields with wild, ear-to-ear grins.
The 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R with High-lift camshafts are operated by a high-performance cam chain and tensioned system to help ensure high-rpm reliability. Lightweight forged pistons also help durability and are cooled by an oil-jet cooling system that pumps a continuous stream of lubricant at the underside of each piston. (Testing shows the engine runs considerably cooler with this race-spec system.) The impressive durability built into this high-compression powerhouse continues with its super-strong alloy connecting rods have beefy small ends; it also uses thick 40mm crankshaft main journals; and its transmission gears are heat- and surface-treated for smooth shifting and a long service life.
