Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14.

An advanced version of Kawasaki’s unique aluminium monocoque design, The ZX-14’s chassis is every bit the equal of its power plant. Essentially a hollow aluminium box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot, the frame utilises the engine as a stressed-member to greatly increase the monocoque’s torsional rigidity. Even more incredible than the ZX-14’s astonishing levels of horsepower is the amazing finesse and control with which it delivers it. The superbly linear spread of torque delivers a seamless flow of power from idle to redline that belies the potential of the fire-breathing animal that lies beneath. Thanks to the forward positioning of the engine, engineers were able to carefully select the wheelbase dimensions and front/rear weight distribution to achieve incredible high speed stability and the kind of fast, responsive handling you never thought a ‘big bike’ was capable of.
The ZX-14 features a sleek, modern instrument cluster with an easy-to-read, white-faced analogue speedometer and tachometer plus a multi-function LCD digital display incorporating a fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip meters, odometer and clock.
