0 HISTORY Kawasaki ZZR-1400

The flagship of the industry

A person determined by the manufacturer of motorcycles, which he produces, and the defining characteristic of motorcycles «Kawasaki» has always been power, enormous power. It is this combined with excellent quality control and overall balance of the operating parameters made of super-bikes «Kawasaki» the most formidable and respected machines in the world of motorsports. Starting from such legendary machines as the Z 1 and GPZ 900 R to the modern hyper-bikes-level ZZ - R 1100 ZX -12 R «Ninja" flagships «Kawasaki» established quality standards to be followed by all others.
This tradition continues with the emergence of a new model of incredible ZZR 1400 - a machine that shows a hitherto unheard-of level of operational parameters and the excitation of the user. Whether it accelerates like a jet afterburner, or glides effortlessly up the winding mountain road, "swallowing" miles and carrying a host for dinner across the border, or the deafening moves through the flow of traffic to his place of work, but the ZZR 1400 left far behind all other large-cylinder car.
 Set in motion an entirely new engine, with counter-fed air and fuel injection, ZZR 1400 provides an unprecedented level of traction. This is the most powerful engine «Kawasaki» in its history. At any turn of the new driver's hand dose of adrenaline rises directly to the cortex of his brain.
Equally impressive is the chassis of the car. ZZR 1400 is a modern version of a unique aluminum monocoque frame-production «Kawasaki». Lightweight and very stiff, the intricate frame gives the bike and sensitivity control, and incredible stability on the highway.
Aerodynamic properties of the ZZR is the same as you would expect from a powerful aircraft. Issued by the wind, the complex aerodynamic motorcycle unit has been designed to help maximize the experience to show the sports car.
Model ZZR 1400 - is a highly balanced super-sports car, created in the likeness of such flagship models as Z 1 and ZZ - R 1100. Semi-"Ninja", a semi-legend, and all - sheer excitement, the new ZZR 1400 makes a comparison with her to come to the dismay of all other applicants the title of "hyper-bike".

SUMMARY

Like its predecessors, the model was developed ZZR 1400 with the purpose to set the standard "two-reel" dreams. Motorcyclist threw a leg over the saddle ZZR 1400, will know that he sits astride the most powerful series motorcycle in the world - a car that offers unparalleled levels of engine performance and chassis, better to say: "In this super-sports car, which the world have not yet seen! "
The most powerful engine in the history of the company «Kawasaki»
Even at the starter button the driver, it is clear that this is the most powerful street bike in the world. Yet, in spite of the incredible performance of the ZZR 1400, almost everyone who has carefully tuned the engine, it will enjoy a softer and more user-friendly operation. This duality makes the big ZZR engine, which wants to possess and painful ride.
New generation aluminum frame, monocoque.
Along with the impressive work of the engine ZZR, - and it is very impressive, many drivers hit the nice and easy to operate a motorcycle. Never had a "big bike" was not so easy and responsive to drive. The secret? In the aluminum frame of a new generation of «Kawasaki» - frame-monocoque.
The last word in aerodynamic designs «Kawasaki».
To combine high-speed stability with low hydrodynamic resistance, ZZR 1400 offers a modern aerodynamic module, built on years of experience «Kawasaki» in the development of efficient aircraft. Whiz through the continent, or flying on a sharp bend in the mountains, ZZR slips gracefully, cutting through the air.
Aura power
In a world where the main performance, the new model ZZR 1400 has everything: the quality of the course, which the driver expects to meet in the car, the flagship, smooth as a turbine, the power in a wide range of engine speeds, and error free to be, which comes from the most powerful world of machines.

How is this accomplished

POWER - AND SOMETHING ELSE

No company knows about the single-row four-cylinder engines than Kawasaki. Starting with early models of motorcycles to a Z factory «MotoGP», in the knowledge of the parallel 4-cylinder engine of this company is not equal. Merit in this design are many: powerful, smooth running and high compactness, but in the case of the super-machine «Kawasaki», it must be a single-row four-cylinder engine. Every part of this amazing engine has been carefully designed to get the perfect balance of power, torque and fitness for driving.
Inline 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1352 cm 3
A completely new engine coming from the model ZX -12 R «Ninja" ZZR and has a diameter of groove of cylinder equal to 84 and 61 mm.
The layout engine has been carefully designed to maintain compactness. Its width is about the same as the 12 R.
Feeling the power
• Turning the gas model gives the ZZR a response, which can be expected from the large-cylinder machines: a monstrous moment of perfection adjust the full scale.
• The fuel injection system and a thorough debugging engine responds very smoothly, allowing you to easily enjoy the impressive performance characteristics of models ZZR.
• Selection of the moment has a very linear response, so, in fact, there is no "power range," but after 6000 rev / min and above the driver noticed the "zone of afterburner."
• Easy to store time can start from a traffic light at any speed. (The 2.000 rev / min, since there is a margin of about 10 kg-force * m!)

BALANCED CHASSIS MODULE

ZZR 1400 model has an aluminum frame, monocoque «Kawasaki» new generation, providing stability and rocky sensitivity control, the modern design of the chassis impresses with its perfect balance for sports driving and operation of high-speed on the freeway.
The aluminum monocoque frame-
• Brand new, aluminum chassis, monocoque is the next step in the evolution of the frames, first applied to the ZX -12 R «Ninja." This innovative design allows a very compact and lightweight module.
• It is in fact more rigid than the frame spars double, and its resistance to twisting all the more firmly established with the engine. Using the engine as hard parts can facilitate frame.
• Massive cast manifold also contributes to the high rigidity.
• As at 12 R, the air intake is located inside the frame, contributing to the compactness of the layout.
The perfect balance of weight
• Engineers "Kawasaki" full freedom to use the design obtained by compact dimensions of the engine. The engine in front of the frame, the size of the wheelbase and weight balance front and rear wheels - all these parameters are carefully chosen so as to achieve the speed and stability of the machine and its responsiveness in government.
• Wheelbase Models ZZR 1400 is shorter than the ZZR 1200, but longer than the ZX -12 R «Ninja."
Suspension
* Contact cartridge fork length of 43 mm and a new suspension system "Yunitrak» (Uni - Trak) traction from the rear complement a very rigid frame, ensuring excellent handling car at high speed and its superior ability to maintain stability during sporty driving on hilly terrain.


Mass concentration
• All of the engine and chassis were developed to the maximum concentration of mass.
• The combination of monocoque frame-mounted engine with a hard and a mass located on the center line of cars, gives the model ZZR marginal stability at high speeds.
• Fuel tank located in the rear "compartment" and goes under the seat, further contributing to the concentration of mass.
• The new design has a central rib wheels, slightly shifted relative to each other so that the rear wheel weights can be placed on their axis.

EASY RIDING that befits LEADER

Despite the amazing performance models ZZR, machine, surprisingly, not at all daunting, due to impeccable selection of power, smoothness and its friendly driver ergonomics. After a jaunt to the ZZR 1400 in normal output driver remains fresh and energetic, far from human sensations, who arrived in Paris after a transatlantic flight on the "Concord."
Ergonomics and aerodynamics


Despite its long form, and low land, ZZR models hold the body in the driver's very relaxed position during sporty driving. The compact steering wheel is positioned so that drivers do not need to go to get the handle.
The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and "fitted" the tank allows easy driving keep your knees close together.
With low-ankle holders is enough space for the legs.
Low seat height and narrow front end make it easy to reach down to the ground, stopping at traffic lights.

Deepening in the housing to remove the fuel tank cover allows for "frame".
Multi-functional aerodynamic module ZZR reduces hydrodynamic resistance machines, increases its stability at motorway speeds and the driver closes the wind for sports driving on hilly terrain.
Smooth engine performance and headroom.
• Already in perfect primary balance, the engine model involved ZZR secondary compensator, which suppresses unwanted vibration, resulting in a very smooth engine.
• shifter (directly) are easier to design the usual rocker-type and
gives a more direct sense of the transfer.


• High power and torque of the motor means that the driver does not need to change gears too often - no matter what is the rate at hand is always enough power. (Another benefit is that when driving at low speed saves more fuel).
Spectacular
ZZR 1400 on the model assumes an aura of strength and confidence, which is characteristic only for the most powerful machine the world level. As befits a flagship model ZZR offers a combination of avant-garde design, flawless execution and attention to detail. It does not matter whether it is in front of a cafe or racing easy on the motorway - a machine that people will get noticed.


Style "give way"
• Testing of shell model ZZR 1400 motorcycle gave an extremely long and low shape. Front fairing much is given above the front wheel and almost closes his guard.
• All lines of the bike, "move" toward back, giving it the impression of speed,
even when he stands on the site.
• The fact that the monocoque frame goes over-engine, not speaking beyond the fairing, allowing the solution of continuous fairing.


• The front fairing models ZZR is decorated with four projector headlights light. In the outdoor lights are placed marker lamp and driving lamp. The passing lamp located in the central 2-lamps. Light all four lights would be enough to turn night into day.
• Central air-intake to the oncoming flow, like a super-sport motorcycle series "Ninja" ZZR models gives the characteristic shape of mark «Kawasaki».

• Twin mufflers look like ZZ - R 1100, another legendary flagship «Kawasaki».
• Front and rear turn signals built into the front and rear fairings. Transparent glass lamps with incandescent light orange complement the high quality appearance.
• Brand new LED rear light lamp has a unique "V"-shaped design. The bike, with four rays of light in the projector mirrors - this will be the usual form of machinery in motion ZZR.
Small parts
• proficiency style machines complement the logo embossed "Kawasaki" and model name.
• Cover the fuel tank is made in spectacular style with the tank shell.
• The smooth contours of the motorcycle hood adds a little ledge in front of the rear wheel (available on models not equipped with central bipod designed for some markets)
• Dual seat cover (any item, depending on market) adds aerodynamic style. When removing the lid opens access to the seat.
