Kawasaki ZZR-1400




You have dreams? Of course, dreams. In the dream, people can realize their impossible dreams into reality. Do you remember the first time flying in a dream? If not, you missed the most unusual and pleasant moments of your life. But if you still can not forget those moments when you do not want to wake up terribly to even enjoy the feeling of weightlessness instant, free flight, the intoxicating feeling that overwhelms you and tear out when you fly, then you will no doubt want it to happen again and again.



In real life for this dream to go to either aircraft, or to learn levitation. For those who do not know what it is, will explain. Levitation - is when you fly, but very close to the ground, almost touching her. Some Indians claim that they can rise to several tens of centimeters, overcoming the force of his intellect gravity. We, of course, they believe, for ourselves can also fly, barely touching the ground sliders at the knees of his coveralls in the smooth, fast turns. Indeed, in such moments, do not you go and fly it on his motorcycle-fighter, and quickly sweep you under the miles of roads. All that is needed in such times - it is to keep the nose to the wind and not look down, and just ahead, where does your inner voice and the markings on the runway''.'' Portion of adrenalin that you get to a considerable extent depends on the degree of carelessness and select "aircraft." However, riding on the hero of this material requires a sober mind and perseverance.
Seemed to''pilot''was designed apparatus, which will be discussed in our review. Each of his line, every curve of the fairing give the illusion of an airplane that is about to retract the landing gear and soar to the clouds, even when he just stands there waiting for the next flight''.'' Its engine is too powerful for a simple bike. Until recently, no one could even dream about two hundred "horses", which are hidden under the lining of serial bike. Only a small part of this capacity would be enough to wrest the land from the front wheel, and with the front brake - it is easy to lift into the sky and back. Well, what is not plane?
These are the impressions formed on the new Kawasaki ZZR-1400 after the first look at the monster and get acquainted with its features. Kawasaki company has done everything to be first and gave bikers polished in all aspects of hyper-sport bike with a cherished Tsiferki "200" in the column''power.'' Along with it pales even such a monster as the Suzuki Hayabusa, which is up to Honda CBR-1100XX, it's ... it's just a touring bike. And it is not surprising, because his heart is the most powerful to date serial motorcycle engine, the volume of 1352 cm3. Of course, he is very proud creators and treasure for future owners. With its''locomotive''draft, which begins with 2000 revolutions per minute, the crankshaft and a mad catch it, which the driver feels as soon as the tachometer needle mark will be over 6,000, the bike is just the rockets, capable of not only fast to go, how low to go. Excluding the charge air power indicator is''just''190 HP, and only with the dynamic supercharging it reaches two hundred. One gets the impression that the 10 horses appear out of thin air. "Mystic" - tell ignorant people in this matter. "Only a physicist" - we answer.
Coincides with a mere mortal such large object? Can he keep it under control? It is unclear, but experts believe the company Kawasaki, he can. Powerful machine, but still very slowly responds to the actions of the driver. Motor is well balanced, and thanks to a finely tuned fuel injection system allows you to fully enjoy its elasticity.
"What about manageability?" - You ask. After all, his predecessor, ZX-12R, was nicknamed''kuvaldolet''for a reason, his reluctance to turn has become a byword. The chassis and body kit ZZR-1400 are designed based on previous mistakes that bedeviled the joy of free flight''.'' Tested and modified in a wind tunnel fairing ZZR-1400 helps to make the flow of oncoming air with minimal resistance rounded contours of the''aircraft, "and do not create turbulence behind them. At the same bike with the driver as to constitute a whole, complementing each other.



Another highlight is almost invisible from the outside, hidden behind the plastic bodywork and a bearing part of the whole of his design. This frame-monocoque, which is the next stage in the evolution of this element was first applied to the Kawasaki ZX-12R. Its aluminum construction is lightweight and very durable, and torsional stiffness was even higher, to include the engine in the power structure. As in''Ninja'', a ZZR-1400 is placed inside the frame of the inertial intake tract system boost. This solution reduces the amount of detail and make the front of the bike more compact and neater. Due to the elaborate arrangement to achieve an equal distribution of weight on both wheels. Wheelbase 1,460 mm long and stiff chassis gives the bike impeccable handling in cornering and stability, "flights" on the straights.
Looks good at first,''Correspondence''look, and pendants. Upside-down fork 43 mm, and a new rear suspension system Uni-Trak with''progression''and gas-charged shock provide a stable behavior of the bike at high speeds and boundary loads. When it comes to braking, it will work over eight brake pistons. Interestingly, all brake discs as floating front, 310 mm and rear, 250 mm diameter - petal type. They are great companions to radial front brake calipers. But that's not all. In the optional equipment includes a system motorcycle ABS, which you will not see on any other giperbayke. This move, no doubt, will attract even more fans a typewriter, not wanting to risk their health for nothing, but eager to speed and adrenaline in large quantities.
Motorcycle design speaks for itself. There is nothing earth, he - the spitting image of an alien from deep space, embodied in two-wheel road monster. Front fairing much hanging over the wheel. It is decorated with four spotlights, which will be enough light to turn night into day, and during the day -''scare''drivers who try to ignore your''airplane''in their mirrors. LED brake light in the form of the Latin letter V (''Victory'') directly alluding to the fact that on the autobahn it has no equal.
The instrument panel ZZR-1400 slightly ascetic - it is nothing extra, but the readability of the analog of speed and engine speed does not leave much to be desired. Next to them is multifunctional digital LCD display, which includes fuel gauge, indicator of transmission, two odometer, and clock rate drt. A good set, but why such a "plane" index of transmission, yet it is not clear - because he can confidently go to any of them, without having to klatsat''up''and''down''every 5 seconds. But drt course, of course, fans will need to travel.
And since we are talking about the ergonomics of the bike, it's worth more to describe the place where it should sit a pilot. Designers are trying to place the driver with the maximum possible for such a specific vehicle comfort. The narrow engine and fitted''''fuel tank allows easy grasp while riding his knees, and the low height of the saddle (800 mm) and a narrow front end can reach down to the ground, even low riders. And it is on the machine, which is not a baby!
It is safe to say that the model ZZR-1400 was designed to set a new standard''two-wheeled dreams.'' And those who will transfer his leg over the saddle ZZR-1400, will know that he sits on the most powerful in the world series motorcycle. This idea, of course, flatter pride of many owners of the new''Zizera'', especially as worthy rivals (Honda CBR1200XX V-5 and the new Suzuki Hayabusa) estimated there will be only next year, as long as the number of prototypes. Nevertheless, Kawasaki ZZR-1400 will always be first. The device is worthy of the title of a hyper-sports bike and is just a fighter jet on wheels, leaving behind all krupnokubaturnye bikes. Now you really can say that flying is not a dream ... a reality!
