Kawasaki has issued a large number of photos of the 2012 ZX-14R, a bike that will demonstrate new electronic improvements, a reworked engine and a body slightly redesigned for next year.
As reported by asphalt and rubber, engine block stroked to 1441 cc and the cylinder head is ported and polished for better circulation. In addition, the ZX-14R will use a higher compression ratio and the new configuration. Nobody is saying exactly the amount of energy that add up, but called Kawasaki motorcycle motorcycles world's fastest acceleration.
Also, change the innards, 2012 ZX-14R will also be packing traction control (sounds like a good idea ...) for the first time, and gas-by-wire. Traction Control System gives the driver KTRC three different settings, all the selected control rod and watch the meter cluster. The bike is also some minor changes in the rigidity of the body.
True to its teaser campaign, the Kawasaki ZX-14R 2012 (2012 Kawasaki ZZR1400 for our friends abroad) finally got revealed today. Refine its range of super bikes, confirmed that the Kawasaki ZX-14R (note the extra R in the name) has a bump displacement to 1441 cc, with a cosmetic overhaul and other basic functions. Most notable is added to the Kawasaki ZX-14R is also traction control, and ride-by-wire throttle control system. Kawasaki has not spilled the beans on the new ZX-14R, but the flow is said to be over 200hp to the crank with ram-air.
Kawasaki ZX-14R is already pitting against the Suzuki Hayabusa, maybe try to rekindle the war of speed in 1990. Although none of the top speed has been touted as the Japanese company Kawasaki ZX-14R will make a bid ", the world's fastest production motorcycle speed up." Along superlative, but it is interesting to see if the update in response to the aging of the Suzuki Hayabusa, who has not had a significant update since 1999 on the market.
Perhaps the biggest improvement in the Kawasaki ZZ-14R is in the engine. Particularly appreciated by 4 mm, the cylinders of the ZX-14R has been cleaned, while the cylinder heads were ported and polished. Cylinder compression also increased, while the camshaft has been modified, all of which translates into more power and torque across the range of Kawasaki ZX-14R is rev (again Kawasaki does not tell how). Together with the Ride speed-by-wire, a driver can choose between different engine mapping changes between power and 50% of capacity for different driving conditions.
No bikes in 2012 would not be complete without traction control, and the 2012 Kawasaki ZX-14R is no different. Getting the Kawasaki KTRC system, a rider can choose three different configurations handlebar traction control (full, medium and low), and bonus points, Kawasaki has a selected level of CT in the panel to help inform the pilot. It also helps to estimate the power of the track is a slipper clutch on the new ZX-14R, which should be popular among the "retrograde and dump" crowd.
Although you know from looking at it, Kawasaki has also made improvements to the ZX-14R framework, which includes different stiffness to the chassis flex and super bike. Other modifications to the chassis include a 10mm longer swingarm, and lighter 10-spoke wheels. Despite the measures to be brighter ZX-14R/ZZR1400, gains super bike Kawasaki 17 pounds empty weight for a claimed 584 pounds.
Finally, the overall aesthetics of the bike has changed subtly, and to see a less re-work that keeps the cost model over time, but did not differ from the Kawasaki ZX-14 approved the design. Price is set at U.S. $ 14 699.
