The Suzuki Hayabusa boasts a generous wide wheelbase with smooth and simple drivability —— and a maximum speed of mph. It comes in two colors: candy daring red and daring gray paint. This sportbike features an inline four-cylinder liquid-cooled 1,cc engine. It reaches horsepower, pound-feeet of torque, and pounds of curb weight. The Suzuki Hayabusa is created for smooth operation at speed and rides hard enough for even the most skilled riders to have a lot of fun with. But the Kawasaki is a strong contender.
The ZXr is serious competition for the Suzuki Hayabusa. Famed for being the first factory sportbike to surpass miles per hour since classics like the HDR Vincent Black Shadow had clocked such speeds on the salt flats in the s, the Ninja ZXr came onto the scene doing mph in ——according to Cycle World. This bike definitely holds its own with the Hayabusa. In fact, it actually goes faster.
It has arguably been the better bike since the release saw massive upgrades. Ram Air Induction: A central Ram Air duct feeds cool, high-pressure air from the front of the fairing in a direct path through the air cleaner and into the engine for maximum power output - as speed increases, so does the air pressure, effectively force-feeding the engine.
Aerodynamics: Sculpted by the wind, the Ninja ZXR's bodywork offers high aerodynamic performance that reduces drag, and contributes to stability and wind protection at highway speeds.
Sport Suspension: Whan compared to the previous model, stiffer springs for both the front fork and rear suspension deliver a firmer, sportier feel. Lightweight Wheels: The lightweight wheels offer significant weight savings over those of the predecessor.
The front wheel is g lighter and the rear wheel saves g, for a total reduction of 1. Dominant Performance: 4 mm longer stroke increases displacement of the powerful In-Line Four engine to 1, cm 3.
Bore and Stroke are now 84 x 65 mm. Series-first Back-torque Limiter: Easily adjustable back-torque limiting clutch facilitates smooth downshifts and helps prevent rear wheel hop, which becomes more likely with the increased back-torque. Stronger, Longer Swingarm: Gusseting on the swingarm increases rigidity to match the greater output.
Swingarm is 10 mm longer to suit the new final gear ratio. A manufacturer is defined by the motorcycles it makes, and the defining characteristic of Kawasaki motorcycles has always been power - lots of power. But the ZX14 has obviously spent a lot of time in the wind tunnel as Kawasaki prides itself on the performance factor and it wanted to be the fastest of the bunch again. Its aerodynamics reminds users that Kawasaki is indeed an aircraft manufacturer.
Kawasaki engineers and designers have created a motorcycle that turns its Ram Air and fuel-injected engine into the core of a powerful, torque-producing, aerodynamic stunner that will draw attention from onlookers whether on the road, or parked on the roadside. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX is a cc motorcycle, that is its most powerful ever, and succeeds in setting the performance standards for others to follow. This all new in-line four has evolved from the Ninja ZXR and features a bore and stroke of 84 x 61mm packed into a purposefully designed compact outline that minimizes engine width, leaving it at virtually the same width as the 12R.
A twist of the throttle delivers a seamless spread of torque that is so linear, the "power band," per se, ceases to exist. Riders will pay particular attention to the impressive response that kicks in once the motor exceeds 6, rpm. Those that have ridden this newest Kawasaki flagship marvel at the torque response that makes pulling away from a total stop in almost any gear a possibility. The engine uses a secondary balancer to tame unwanted vibrations, and a direct-actuation shift lever is lighter than conventional linkage-type set-ups, offering a more direct feel for the rider.
The ZX's chassis design is every bit the equal of its power plant. It is an advanced version of Kawasaki's unique aluminum monocoque frame, lightweight and very strong.
This sophisticated approach gives the ZX a responsive handling quality and incredible highway stability. By utilizing this frame technology, engineers were able to concentrate on delivering, as mentioned, a very slim, compact package. Inherently more rigid than twin-spar frames, and with the engine rigid-mounted, the monocoque's strength is greatly increased.
The ZX uses an inverted 43mm cartridge fork and new Uni-Trak linkage rear suspension to complement the highly rigid frame, thus offering both great controllability at high speeds and superb road holding when sport riding on twisting hill roads. Does this ultimate combination of engine performance and chassis design make the Kawasaki ZX rider-friendly? The engineers and designers sought to combine the utmost elements of today's motorcycle technologies, yet still provide a package that is both approachable-and usable.
The ZX delivers seamless power, a smooth ride, and friendly ergonomics.
