The Kawasaki ZZR1400 was a sports motorcycle part of the Ninja series in Kawasaki's range, also known as the Ninja ZX-14 or ZX-14R. The bike was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and released in 2006 as a replacement for the ZZ-R1200 model.
The ZZR1400 was Kawasaki's most powerful sports motorcycle, accelerating from 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in only 2.5 seconds. Also, the top speed was electronically limited to 299 kph (186 mph).
In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZZR1400 Performance, a sports motorcycle that featured several improvements compared to the standard model.
The Performance version was fitted with Akrapovic high-performance exhaust mufflers in a carbon or titanium look, offering a race-ready performance boost. Also, the silencers were street-legal and enhanced the bike's sporty appearance.
In addition, the Performance model came with a sporty passenger seat cover, delivering a sportier look, a special edition tinted windscreen, a seff-adhesive tank pad, and two side pads in a carbon fiber look.
As for performance, the 2010 Kawasaki ZZR1400 Performance had its soul brought to life by a 1.352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 193 hp at 9,500 rpm and 155 Nm (114 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
The braking performance was achieved by two 310 semi-floating petal discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 250 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
