The 'Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14' ''(known as the 'ZZR1400' in Europe and Japan)'' is a hyper sport motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and is currently their most powerful sport bike.^[1] It was introduced at the Tokyo 2005 show^[2] and released for the 2006 model year as a replacement for the ZX-12R. Its direct competitor in the hyper sport segment is the Suzuki Hayabusa.
The Ninja ZX-14 is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds.^[3] Top speed is electronically restricted to 186 mph. This limit has been in effect on both Kawasaki and Suzuki sport motorcycles since 2001 when both companies realized that the speed wars between both said companies would only serve to bring about government regulation.
The motorcycle was featured in season 10 of Fifth Gear, on October 30, 2006.
