Overview[edit | edit source]
Kawasaki ZZ-R 1400 Monster Energy Special Edition
Ultimate Ninja® Superbike Adds Ominous Looks to Its Repertoire
For riders looking to shock and awe their rivals, the sinister looking special edition Kawasaki Ninja® ZX-14 Monster Energy® is the sportbike of choice. Dressed in all black, it promises a cranked-up heart rate for anyone with a pulse, thanks to the black bodywork, frame and pinstriped wheels, highlighted by an aggressive Monster Energy graphics package.
The Monster Energy ZX-14 is a testament to effective engineering. Its engine and exhaust system permit it to comply with strict Euro-III emissions and tightening noise regulations. However, the ZX-14s low-end torque, mid-range surge and its legendary Ninja peak power place it at the top of the sportbike food chain.
Secondary air ports in the cylinder head and its cover flow clean air into the exhaust system and boost the efficiency of the three honeycomb catalyzers employed in the exhaust system. These devices combined with a wide dispersal of atomized fuel from the fine-atomizing fuel injectors and optimized flow characteristics through the intakes, allow the ZX-14s 1352cc engine to offer strong performance, yet still meet the toughest motorcycle emissions regulations.
The ZX-14 meets noise standards, by producing a minimum of internal mechanical noise, in lieu of using a more-restrictive exhaust system. A special piston profile and a urethane insulation sheet on the inside of the magnesium chain cover help quiet the engine and permit a freer flowing exhaust for greater power.
The ZX-14s chassis design is every bit the equal of its power plant. Using an advanced version of Kawasakis unique aluminum monocoque design, its frame is lightweight and very strong. Die cast aluminum sections on the main frame make for lighter parts, keeping the weight down even more on the slim and compact frame.
The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and fuel tank provide a slim rider interface and a relaxed sport riding position. It is compact without being cramped, with its easy-to-reach bar position, low-set footpegs for ample legroom and a low seat height and narrow seat front to easily plant both feet on the ground when stopped. Comfort levels are high enough to cause riders to think theyre on a dedicated sport tourer until the ZX-14s throttle is twisted. When that happens, all confusion disappears, like so many competitors in the rear view mirrors.
Underneath its chilling exterior are the winning traits riders have come to expect from a ZX-14 massive torque, effortless power, agile handling and comfortable ergonomics reflected in the 1352cc Ninjas sizeable collection of open class sportbike victories.
The all black Monster Energy package adds to the ZX-14s already stunning, smooth, flowing appearance from front to rear. Quadruple projector beam headlights adorn the ZX-14s front. The turn signals are cleanly integrated into the fairing and rear cowl with a unique V design LED tail lamp capping off the sleek aerodynamics that reinforces Kawasakis aircraft heritage.
