The Need for Speed
Well, I finally did it
Been contemplating this for ... literally .. years.. 5 or 6 at least. I've finally entered the world of Sport Bikes, after 30 + years of riding. Have to admit, I'm the first to make jokes about and shake my head at, all the morons on Sport Bikes , doing the stupid stunts on our roads, and acting like idiots. But, damned if I haven't secretly admired their rides; their potential of those rides. So , I did it.
As many know, I recently got a Slingshot . While in the dealership checking on a recall, I did what I have always done there ... sat on and/or admired the KZ-14 and Hayabusa. Except, this time, the Sales Manager gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, and mama' went along with it.
So now, I'm on my fourth Kawasaki owned over the years .. and one of , if not THE, baddest bikes on the planet. Has 200HP on tap, limited speed at 189mph ( I don't envision that being a problem), big enough to give me comfort, and just awesome to Ride.
Bam!
"If mad dog power, multi-functional sport versatility and VIP comfort is what you desire, the 2014 Kawasaki ZX-14R ABS is what you require."
"as far as big dog sportbikes go, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R dominates the marketplace. The manner in which the Ninja delivers power to the ground through utilization of a vicious power plant, comprehensive electronics package and rigid chassis is unparalleled. "
"Super fast, super agile and super sexy, the 2014 Kawasaki Ninja is finally here and has all it needs to blow your mind"
"Everything about the Ninja® ZX™-14R sportbike is big: Big displacement, big horsepower, big accolades. Life is pretty good at the top of the heap. When you make more power than any other production sportbike on the planet, as the ZX-14R does, the character of the power delivery is as important as the actual number of horses."
"The benefits of all this hot-rodding are substantial, as there’s class leading power virtually everywhere across the rev range. The advantages are most profound in the mid-high rpm range, but incredible acceleration is still available from as low as 4,000 rpm. This translates into the sort of thrust riders can appreciate in a wide variety of situations, whether it’s powering up a freeway on-ramp to merge with fast-moving traffic or cruising along a deserted backroad on a sunny, Sunday-morning ride. On the ZX-14R, total domination is just a twist of the throttle away."
"The result of all this refined and high-tech hot rodding is arguably the finest open-class sportbike engine ever built"
"The end result of all this technology and all these features is a dominating open-class ride – a supremely smooth, powerful and refined sporting motorcycle that’ll gladly go anywhere there’s asphalt and do it with an uncanny level of competence. High-aggression Sunday-morning rides? No worries. Two-up along the coast for the weekend? Easy. Commuting to and from work? Simple. Weekend bracket racing at the local dragstrip? Cake."
