The 2016 Kawasaki ZZR1400 (sold as the ZX-14R in the US) recently underwent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing, and was found to have lost 10 hp over previous models. Kawasaki has traditionally been conservative about the big Z’s power, quoting 200 hp as the official figure, but dyno testing over the years showed another five percent or so horsepower could be found on tap.
Down-grading of the ZZR’s power output was attributed to compliance with Euro 4 standards. Changes to the incoming model include a new three-way catalyst, and revisions to the ECU and evaporative system.
This was despite earlier claims to the contrary by Kawasaki, saying the 2016 ZZR would suffer no loss of hp. The new number is 199.4 hp, and emissions figures have dropped as a result, with the 2016 engine running a tiny bit cleaner than the older model.
Major changes are a new instrument cluster and Brembo M50 Monobloc calipers lifted off the ZX-10R. The 2016 ZZR1400 comes in two versions, standard and Performance Sport.
The Performance Sport model gets Ohlins suspension at the back and a pair of Akrapovic exhausts. The ZZR1400 weighs-in at 269 kg, and is sold in the UK for £11,799 (RM75,200) for the standard and £13,399 (RM85,400) for the Performance Sport.
What’s the point of this when the H2 is out.
different bike for different purpose. you dont buy mitsu evo if your main purpose is travelling long distance right?
lolwat? So what car do you use for travelling long distances if Lancer Evo is a bad choice??
if u can live wif sports car characteristics… it’s fine… but there r a lot of sport tourers out there… btw, japs doesn’t make much tourers… an example is u bring M3 to the track n M6 to a road trip…
I believe the only reason people buy this bike is the same reason why people would dare go into a flimsy steel cage and experience the sight a great white shark coming towards them.
that’s becoz they have balls of steel.. and yours is more like.. owh how do i put it.. jibby’s..
More like TPua’s. His just shrinks to nothing when pipu calls his bluff and challenge him back.
A lot people bought this kind of bike. especially people who love to go overland and travels by bike.
