Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance 2019 — Specifications

The ZZR represented an era, an idea of big power and high-mileage Sport-GTs. This category is now neglected. But the 1400 still claims a strong status. The Ninja flagship can sing and rush faster than the wind. This machine is a provocateur, a channeler of prohibitions, a demonic engine, closer to a photon-powered heavy cruiser than a leisure motorcycle. Its main asset is its huge 4-cylinder, brimming with torque, with a good 200 horsepower as a warning. Its main drawback is its enormous exhaust pipes, heavy, not particularly discreet, and with a... ungainly design. Fortunately, there has been a special edition of the ZZR for a few years now: the Performance version.

This designation means several things:

- You will assert your selfish side with the supplied seat cowl, offering more style and obscuring the passenger seat. - You will have fewer cervical vertebrae broken because the Kawa is equipped with a curved screen that reduces wind pressure and improves aerodynamics. - With an Akrapovic signature on each side, the 1441 cm3 block will breathe better and enhance its vocals. Two titanium silencers finished with carbon fiber tips are installed on either side of the unfortunate rear tire. Each is fitted with a double outlet of the most beautiful effect. If the weight and performance gain are not indicated, rest assured that the melody of the revs will be much more exhilarating than the original muffled sound. And a few kilos less doesn't hurt anyone. - To complete the equipment, the tank thinks to protect itself from aggressive knees with semi-transparent adhesive protections.
