Worlds Fastest Accelerating Motorcycle: 2012 ZX-14R http://www.motorcycle.com/images/con...4R_14-1010.jpg Kawasaki has released a slew of images of the 2012 ZX-14R, a motorcycle that will feature new electronic enhancements, a reworked engine and slightly restyled bodywork for next year. As reported by Asphalt & Rubber, the engine block will be stroked to 1,441cc and the cylinder head will be ported and polished for greater flow. In addition, the ZX-14R will make use of a higher compression ratio and new cam timing. No one's saying exactly how much power that will all add up to, but Kawasaki calls the bike the world's fastest-accelerating production motorcycle. In addition to the reworked innards, the 2012 ZX-14R will also come packing traction control (sounds like a good idea...) for the first time as well as a throttle-by-wire system. The KTRC traction control system will offer the rider three different settings, all selectable from the handlebar and viewable from the gauge cluster. The bike will also features a few changes to the frame for a little more rigidity. Stay tuned for more details. Not a fan of the design but if what they say is true, this bike is going to be a beast. |

better get the body bags ready...lol |
Biggest dissapointment in the history of bikes with the exception of the new V-Max & B-King. I would have posted something on Monday when it was "released" but I couldn't bear to look at it again. Bloated, overweight, juvenile graphics, lame power for a 1400, etc...got exhaust cans? A few heads need to roll at Kawasaki. |
Perfect. Another ugly Kawi to thin out the heard and another bike for fatties to ride. |
