With its 30th anniversary, Kawasaki made available for purchase only 300 of the 2015 MY Ninja ZX-14R LE.

The 2-wheeler sports a 1441 cc in-line four engine, the biggest and most powerful Kawasaki have ever mounted on a production bike, paired to a 6-speed transmission with a "slipper clutch which reduces rear-wheel torque effects when downshifting or coasting.

For this limited edition, the Japanese have mounted a unique numbered badge on the gas tank and is available in a firecracker red/ metallic greystone paint with elegant gold pinstriping and brake calipers, the same colors they have been using on the ZX-14 for 30 years.
