Kawasaki Ninja 2012 ZX-14R - Fastest Production Motorcycle

New Ninja's engine boasts increased displacement over its older brothers. The motorcycle has been designed to deliver unmatched acceleration once the engine crosses 4000 rpm. The aluminium monocoque frame covers the revised chassis design to make the bike look like the speed-beast. The spoiler suspensions provide stability and smoother handling at all the speeds. ZX-14R has been designed to offer better traction control with KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control) which has 3 riding modes: 2 Modes for sport riding performance and one peace-of-mind conservative mode. The bike also comes with two power modes viz. full power and low power modes to suit your riding conditions. The new Ninja has adjustable back-torque limiting clutch which ensures clean down-shifts and rear wheel hopping. New wheels are lighter than earlier Ninja models by over 1.39 kg together.
