FORMIDABLE FLAGSHIP UPDATED
For 2008, changes were made to the ZZR1400’s engine and exhaust system in order to meet strict Euro-III emissions regulations. By reducing mechanical noise, power drops were not only minimised, overall engine character was improved and peak power was increased.
The
Aura of Power.
Powered by an all-new engine force-fed with Ram Air and fuel injection,
the ZZR1400. churns out unheard of levels of thrust. Yet in spite
of the incredible performance of Kawasaki's most powerful power
plant ever, careful engine tuning allows almost anyone to enjoy
the bike's softer, more rider-friendly side.
Next
Generation Aluminium Monocoque Frame.
Impressive as the ZZR's engine performance is, it is the lightweight
handling qualities. Never has a "big bike" offered such
responsive handling. The secret? Kawasaki's next generation aluminium
monocoque frame, that gives the bike both responsive handling qualities
and incredible highway stability.
Unmistakable
Presence.
As befits its flagship status, the ZZR offers an advanced aerodynamics
package and an avant-garde design, including quadruple projector
beam headlights. The central Ram Air duct like that of the Ninja
supersport bikes gives the ZZR a consistent Kawasaki face.
Excellent
Comfort.
Despite its long and low appearance, the ZZR offers a very relaxed
sport riding position. Compact without being cramped, the bars are
positioned so that riders do not have to stretch to reach them.
Low-set footpegs give ample legroom.
Again,
Kawasaki sets the standards for two-wheel excitement.

Brakes
The world's most powerful production bike needs the best brakes
on the planet. |

Fine Tuned Power Characteristics
After ensuring Euro-III regulations were met, changes to the engine ensured the best balance for improved power characteristics and meeting noise regulations. The result is an engine with the same great driveablility, a higher peak power, more linear mid-range and stronger low end.

Ergonomics
& Aerodynamics
Despite its long and low appearance, the ZZR offers a very relaxed
sport riding position. Compact without being cramped, the bars
are positioned so that riders do not have to stretch to reach
them. The low seat height and narrow seat front make it easy
to reach the ground when stopped at lights. |
