The '''[[Kawasaki]] Ninja ZX-14R''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Sport Bike [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 2006 and 2019. Max [[torque]] was 116.54 ft/lbs (158.0 Nm) @ 7500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 195.79 HP (146.0 KW) @ 10000 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 84.0mm [[bore]] x 65.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1441.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the slipper clutch. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70-zr17 front [[tire]] and a 190/50-zr17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via double disc. abs. floating discs. four-piston calipers. radially mounted. in the front and a single disc. abs. two-piston calipers. in the rear. The front suspension was a  43mm inverted cartridge fork with adjustable preload, 18-way compression and 15-way rebound damping adjustment while the rear was equipped with a bottom-link uni-trak® and gas-charged shock with adjustable preload, stepless rebound and compression damping adjustments, adjustable ride height. The Ninja ZX-14R was fitted with a 5.81 Gallon (22.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 566.81 pounds (257.1 Kg). The wheelbase was 58.31 inches (1481 mm) long.

[[File:kawasaki-ninja-zx-14-2012-2012-0.jpg|600px|2012 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R]]
The 2012 MY Ninja ZX-14R, with its new and more powerful 1,441cc Four-cylinder Liquid-Cooled DOHC Engine, which has longer-stroke design, revised cylinder heads, lighter pistons, higher compression and better designed camshafts, all just to give the rider as much torque and power as possible.
In addition, this latest model has an all-new slipper clutch assembly which greatly improves the riders ability ro control rear-wheel torque effects when he or she brakes or downshifts. Also, it has a brand new exhaust system with tapered and remodelled head pipes and a redesigned muffler assembly to help reduce pollution, whether it's classic or phonic.
A newly developed monocoque aluminum frame, narrow, strong, rigid and ultralight make the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R the super-sport of your dreams.

The 2013 MY Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R can be resumed to one word. Power! On the tech/engine side, the four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine displaces 1441cc and produces a whopping 200 horse power (210 with RAM air), which, once again, puts it on the number one spot when it comes to muscle. Add the long-stroke design, ported cylinder heads, lightweight forged pistons and aggressive camshaft profiles that were engineered to produce as much as 162.5 Nm of torque.
The ZX-14R does not disappoint in the aesthetics department either. With its aggressive supersport bodywork and an exquisite attention to details that the Japanese designers have always put in the Ninja models, it can easily be called one of the best-looking mass-produced sportbikes on the market.
The ZX-14R comes with an optional ABS.
==2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition==
[[File:kawasaki-ninja-zx-14-2013-2013-1_azcALp0.jpg|600px|2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition]]
[[File:kawasaki-ninja-zx-14-2013-2013-0_t4A0Evx.jpg|600px|2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition]]
The 2013 MY Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition raises the bar even higher for motorcycle producers around the world. Available in 2 new custom-like paint jobs, metallic spark black or golden blazed green, adding a more elegant look to the massively powerful ZX-14R. Also, the ABS was designed by Kawasaki to be compact, so it does not adda significant bulk to the motorcycle while greatly enhancing performance.
Other features of the ZX-14R include a back-torque limiting "slipper" clutch, which offers an increased control over the rear-wheel "hopping" while downshifting or coasting. The lightweight monocoque frame is made out of aluminum and arches over the whole motorcycle but is also narrow, strong and rigid.
One of the most impressive weight saving methods used by Kawasaki at this model is that many of the cast aluminum sections composing the frame are made using a die-casting process.

[[File:kawasaki-ninja-zx-14-2014-2014-0.jpg|600px|2014 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS]]
The new 2014 MY Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS comes packed with all the technology the Japanese engineers have developed in many years of racing. It comes with the most powerful engine Kawasaki have ever engineered for a production bike, a 4-stroke in-line four cylinder that packs 1441cc.
The traction control has three modes the rider can select with a press of a button. The first two focus mainly on better acceleration and the third one focuses on retaining tire grip in wet/slippery conditions.
Another feature to take into consideration for this model is the back-torque limiting "slipper" clutch. It is engineered to improve rear-wheel torque effects when coasting or down-shifting. As a result, wheel hop, chatter and also driver stress are kept as low as possible.
The model is available for purchase without ABS only in the USA.
