2009 Ninja ZX-14

Kawasaki motorcycles always have been about power - lots of power. The ZX-14's peak power is now slightly higher, but the big news is the improved mid-range and low-end torque for a harder hit. The chassis is equally impressive with an advanced version of Kawasaki's unique aluminum monocoque frame, offering a light and stiff feel with excellent responsiveness.
