New 2016 Kawasaki ZZR1400 Performance Sport - Official Video.

[@goodnfit1]

It's big but it handles very well on curvy roads and the track. I've owned 14s for 9 years and I wouldn't ride anything else on the street. I ride an average of 600+ miles on the weekends and the bike never fails. Comfortable, versatile, POWERFUL, and tons of fun to ride. I'm 50-years old and won't own anything else for the street. It's the perfect curve killer and highway ripper.

[@cliffjohnson7960]

Hey Kawasaki listen up those great high tech next generation h2 hiper bikes will never replace the legend of theZX 14r cannot imagine myself ridding a Predator type h2 over my 2016 zx14r and enjoying the same legendary status now known by zzr1400 You know this Keep it going.Cliff

I have a 2009 zzr1400 first zzr and unbelievable good road handling and very very fast I had yamaha r6 honda cbr 1100 suzuki gsxr 1000 BUT KAWI ZZR1400 IS THE BEST BIKE

[@AussieVet]

[@fathursyahna5751]

true af

[@jacquenoir7876]

+1tokeover They turn well if you are man enough!

[@MrAdrianGrigore]

I ride one and it's surprisingly agile for it's size. You can't keep up with a 1000cc on the bends, but obliterates everything on straights and long bends.

[@kwak1k]

It's proportions are fine with me being 6' 3" and 125 kg's. Nice to have a bike that fits the larger rider, that isn't an adventure bike.

[@ncebasoya3785]

I own the 2014 model zzr1400 and it is a phenomenal piece of machinery and an excellent drive and a very good tourin bike as well.I would like to own the new new 2016 model tough.

[@jackdaniel1848]

Even though I disliked the look of previous model ZX-14's, theres something about this new one that i love. Would be a great bike to compliment my 636, along with the new Z1000. All in Kawi green of course.

[@fullfull]

00:19 why LED on your video or at Milan EICMA 2015 Show............ and Halogen in real life ???

[@joeridestrijcker445]

I was really hoping for more upgrades than a 'black and white cluster' and new front brake; quickshifter, Ohlins fork (fully electronic or not), cruise control and heated grips (ok, nice to haves at best), adjustable rearsets and a passenger seat cowl as standard on the Perf. Sport would have been really nice. Also, it's still quite heavy: a full line de-cat carbon Akra and lighter rims would have been interesting! I tested a 2015 a few months ago: sportier than I'm used to, but still comfy... very strong an super-smooth engine; not sure it beats the 'sensations' of my Diavel though ;)

[@benarmstrong3974]

go buy a Goldwing.

[@LOSTINTOUCH30]

Why not produce a supercharged ZZR1400?

[@jarnom85]

It would gain around 5-10k more price, look where Kawasaki H2's price is at.

[@K-carbon]

George Walker the bike company seemly have a agreement to not produce anymore than around 200bhp so I think that why they won't put a super charger on it

[@shanauk]

Can it be a "Everyday Bike" ? Can be used in street riding or like a Naked Urban Bike?

[@theloveman9]

Has the U.S. market ever had this model available? To my knowledge, we've had an SE version that includes the Brembos, but not the Performance Sport version with the Ohlins and Akra exhaust. Does Kawasaki actually believe it wouldn't sell in America?

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Apparently. I just bought an SE a couple weeks ago, but it would have been great to come with Ohlins and Akra too. Then I wouldn't have to upgrade.

[@Gooddog1]

I used to own the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14. I traded up to a cruiser, but thinking about going back to a new one. I would have hoped that in the ten years since the bike came out they would have put front led lights instead of halogen !!! a slipper clutch for crying out loud and a full lcd screen for rpms speed ect. Quit being cheap and cant possible add that much more to the price. I know I be willing to pay extra for what I want.

[@MikeTheBike58]

Traded up to a cruiser lol

[@gb-nz]

Check Engine light is on, I'd suggest taking it to you nearest Kawasaki retailer lol

[@motaola1]

Good move Kawasaki. Nice bike..

[@ReaLzEdits]

:( I'm really thinking about getting this bike soon. But, it would be my SECOND road bike.... Thats a little scary going from a Ninja 300 to the second fastest production motorcycle in the world. I would like a 636, but the price of a new one is only like 4 thousand cheaper than this. And this is one of the most comfiest hyperbikes in the world.

[@doncimaglia]

engine on this bike is said to be one of the smoothest so no problems here, then you also have power modes and adjustable tc shouldn't be a problem making the jump just be careful as on any other bike ride safe mate ;)

[@ReaLzEdits]

Ale Cimaglia Cheers mate :)

[@MrAdrianGrigore]

Don't be afraid, go for it. My 1400 was my first big bike, best decision i ever made !

[@DrPittenstein]

Love it. But is it really THAT green?

[@gwwayner]

I'll have to rent out the Bonneville Salt Flats for a day if I buy this thing!

[@MrAdrianGrigore]

All you need to max it is one mile of straight road... and a quarter mile to stop, but, unlike the Busa, the brakes are absolutely fenomenal.

[@LinwoodGallop]

still no IMU? I don't get it.

[@karenjanes3240]

[@ireneFoxley]

What is the backing track of this?

[@benjaminhill1833]

I would buy one if it had cruise control.

[@motormadness9975]

People say that it looks to curvy and "outdated" but they have absolutely no idea what aerodynamics actually look like. Do you see aeroplanes with sharp edges? *no* because that is what is more aerodynamic (Fighter jets are angular for deflection of radar) Please research before embarrassing yourselves

[@cheapspace]

+Motor Madness this bike was designed to compete with the busa which also has smooth lines but like most say the busa look is very outdated and doesn't have much of an advantage with aerodynamics when smaller bikes are achieving similar speeds with smaller engines and sharp bodywork design . if you like that look great but im one that also feels smooth contours on bikes make them feel really old.

[@atom608]

+Motor Madness look at yamahas new bikes

[@aswqd613]

plane aerodynamics is for flying, this is for the riding on the street. use you logic

[@sashashpiruk4865]

@@cheapspace Hayabusa is more aerodynamic . Higher the speed the better it is. But the zx14r is a sweet bike.

[@cheapspace]

@@sashashpiruk4865 my point still remains the busa styling is old i mean this literally the design hasn't changed for what a decade?

[@blackericdenice]

I have a 2011 ZX14. I still have not gotten it pass 165mph.

[@MrAdrianGrigore]

I have, but it's terrifying. At 180+ you feel like a passenger on a missile, one really needs training for those insane speeds.

[@blackericdenice]

Adrian Grigore Yes sirrr. A few weeks ago. I was n a long wide curve doing 140+ and was cool until I looked down and saw 140 or more. I couldn't see very well after.

[@catcall569]

blackericdenice lol

[@therealtubeplayer]

Adrian Grigore lol I did 190mph 7 days into teaching myself to ride listening to lil wayne I'm me. you got to want that number drop the fear. I get it in at least once a day just to hear that high pitch whistle and the thrill of holding your head straight and eyes focused on the road and the moment you in 6th gear pull that throttle until you can't and live life and live in the moment listen to your bike take in the view ahead of you. and the joy of knowing only a certain few have been where you are today. that is why I love this with all my heart. but you can't have fear in this bike shit that will get you killed. confidence is your greatest weapon on a bike you could ever have. even when you fall just the thought of knowing you gone be okay and the confidence to get back up and do it all again.

soooooo which bike is faster the 2016 Kawasaki ninja 14r or 2016 hyabusa I cant de between this bike or the hyabusa

[@jarnom85]

Kawasaki was litlebit (0.05-0.15seconds) faster in acceleration tests but Hayabusa was limited 2mph higer in top speed tests (184mph vs 186mph), they hit speed limiter pretty quick, it was ZX-14R vs Hayabusa vs some bike i dont remember then name of.

[@czierwo]

Does it mean that for 2016 there is not zx14 but ZZR? If true, I think it is clever move. As this is completely different machine, sharing name with zx-r´s line up was never right in my opinion.

New 2016 Kawasaki LATEST BIKE

[@wowerman]

I am getting 2012 model next week.This 2016 has better brakes but I would not spend such a money to get it.You can always improve your brakes yourself.Steel cables or whole front brakes kits.Only thing about range of ZZR1400 is that they do not make it in many colours.I had 2006 Candy Blue and I loved that colour.You buy a motorcycle for quite a money and they have only black or green/black??wtf?

[@650hpreventon]

its ok. as soon you get a new bike get an aftermarket fairings, and store the OEM away for future if you want to sell the bike, then it looks new again. plus oem cost a lot. and aftermarket fairings have different xolorsw

You are missing my point.Video is about zzr1400 and not zx14 on US market.Can you imagine cost of shipping whole body to Europe plus import tax?

[@kgb00782]

[@motasintra7623]

nossa cada moto bonita que da vontade de ter dinheiro só pra ter uma mas a situação financeira não permite

[@ridicule35]

Still behind BMW, Ducati and others with Electronic suspension adjustment. These solutions do exist from Ohlins. In todays market, it's got to have ALL the bells and whistles. Not sure how efficient that screen is during touring. I can ride 1000km a day on a k1600GT. Not sure my back can handle the rider position on the ZZR1400. It is certainly a great looking bike, glad they haven't changed the front end. Alternate screen and foot positions for touring could put this bike in another segment. Not sure if it comes with baggage options. Otherwise it ends up restricted to sunday use with a quick run to the coast and back. If you live in France, don't buy it. Soon we may be restricted to 80km/h here. That bike is wasted here in France. Soon all bikes will be wasted here in France.

[@cheeseypie5555]

+ridicule35 What I like about Kawasaki is that they don't offer the complete package. Instead they give you a great starting point to do what ever you like with. Still a little bummed they haven't got cruise control on it though

[@ridicule35]

True enough, but as you spend to bring it on par with options of the modern era, you start getting into BMW/Ducati spending money....

[@cheeseypie5555]

Yes but the appeal of these bikes are that if you don't want to spend the money, you don't have to. You can upgrade your bike as you see fit, and in my mind, the more work you do to your bike the more personality it has. Personality makes our bikes "OUR" bikes. I look at my Versys 650 and I see a scratched exhaust from when I highsided it after I hit a car that pulled out on me. I look at my Versys 1000 and I see that time I scratched the front-left indicator after I tried to fit between a gap or my sisters car and the garage wall. Look at my 250 scooter and I see that I removed the backrest because I am too big and it made me feel uncomfortable. I look at my 50cc scooter and see that the mirror is stuffed because my mum dropped it because she tried to move it away from where she was trying to park. I look at changes in my bike as memories and the memories I see are great, they might be negative as I said above, or they might be positive, like the first time I cracked 100kph on the freeway on my versys 650. Or the time I took my versys 1000 on a test ride. What we do to our bikes, makes them memorable, and having that insanely good base model to improve on makes it so easy to have good memories.
