O Noua Bomba De La Kawasaki

[Bombardel]

ete ceva detalii despre noul ZX14-R care cred ca o sa fie destul de puternic si de rapid in comparatzie cu busa

KAWASAKI NINJA® ZX™-14 COMBINES THE BEST OF EVERYTHING TO DELIVER SERIOUS MOTORCYCLISTS THAT ELUSIVE “ULTIMATE” RIDE

 

Sleek aerodynamics, unmatched power, acceleration, and stability combine to provide balance to company’s latest flagship.

 

If ever a brand of motorcycles was defined by the sheer power emanating from its long history of record-breaking sportbikes, Kawasaki would hold that mantel. If ever a brand would be expected to rightfully incorporate the meaning of the word “ultimate” into its newest flagship street carver, Kawasaki fits the bill. That’s just what the company has done with the Ninja® ZX™-14, a 1352cc motorcycle that is its most powerful ever, and succeeds in setting the performance standards for others to follow.

 

Kawasaki engineers and designers have created a motorcycle that turns its Ram Air and fuel-injected engine into the core of a powerful, torque-producing, aerodynamic stunner that will draw attention from onlookers whether on the road, or parked on the roadside. Wrapped in a choice of Passion Red, Ebony, or Candy Thunder Blue, the new ZX-14 makes blending into the scenery nearly impossible. It accelerates with ease, handles with assurance, and exudes an aura unmatched by anything else on the street.

 

This most powerful of all Kawasaki-branded motorcycles was created to do everything right. Right from the beginning.

 

Its aerodynamics reminds users that Kawasaki is indeed an aircraft maker. The blending of form, power, and handling characteristics have delivered a debut unit that is so balanced in all aspects that the word—ultimate—seems barely adequate to describe it.

 

This all new in-line four has evolved from the Ninja ZX-12R and features a bore and stroke of 84 x 61mm packed into a purposefully designed compact outline that minimizes engine width, leaving it at virtually the same width as the 12R.

 

A twist of the throttle delivers a seamless spread of torque that is so linear, the “power band,” per se, ceases to exist. Riders will pay particular attention to the impressive response that kicks in once the motor exceeds 6,000 rpm. Those that have ridden this newest Kawasaki flagship marvel at the torque response that makes pulling away from a total stop in almost any gear a possibility.

 

The engine uses a secondary balancer to tame unwanted vibrations, and a direct-actuation shift lever is lighter than conventional linkage-type set-ups, offering a more direct feel for the rider.

 

The ZX-14’s chassis design is every bit the equal of its power plant. It is an advanced version of Kawasaki’s unique aluminum monocoque frame, lightweight and very strong. This sophisticated approach gives the ZX-14 a responsive handling quality and incredible highway stability. By utilizing this frame technology, engineers were able to concentrate on delivering, as mentioned, a very slim, compact package. Inherently more rigid than twin-spar frames, and with the engine rigid-mounted, the monocoque’s strength is greatly increased.

 

With the engine positioned forward in the frame, engineers were able to carefully select the wheelbase and front/rear wheel weight balance to achieve both high speed stability and responsive handling. The ZX-14 uses an inverted 43mm cartridge fork and new Uni-Trak® linkage rear suspension to complement the highly rigid frame, thus offering both great controllability at high speeds and superb road holding when sport riding on twisting hill roads.

 

Does this ultimate combination of engine performance and chassis design make the Kawasaki ZX-14 rider-friendly?

 

The engineers and designers sought to combine the utmost elements of today’s motorcycle technologies, yet still provide a package that is both approachable—and usable. The ZX-14 delivers seamless power, a smooth ride, and friendly ergonomics. Together, these characteristics are manifested in a ride that is surprisingly non-intimidating, yet still maintains the heart of the rebel so much a part of Kawasaki’s brand heritage.

 

Offering a very relaxed sport riding position, it is compact without being cramped, and the bars are positioned so riders don’t have to stretch to reach them. The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and fuel tank make it easy for the rider to keep his knees close together in any riding conditions. Footpegs are low-set to give ample legroom and the low seat height and narrow seat front make planting feet on the ground when stopped a cinch.

 

And when the rider is stopped, the motorcycle will be the center of attention. Because the monocoque frame goes over the engine and doesn’t protrude through the fairing, the fairing design lines are uninterrupted, giving it a smooth, flowing appearance, from front to rear. Quadruple projector beam headlights adorn the ZX-14’s front cowl, with the outer lights containing position lamps and high beams. Low beams are located in the two center lamps. The front and rear turn signals are integrated into the fairing and rear cowl, and the all new LED tail lamp features a unique “V” design.

 

Other key features of the Kawasaki ZX-14:

 

- Instrument cluster with easy-to-read, white-faced dual analogue speedometer and tachometer.

- Shift indicator light and clutch engagement light.

- Multi-function LCD digital display includes fuel gauge, gear indicator, dual trip meters, odometer, and clock.

- Large diameter petal brake discs, radial mount front calipers and a radial pump brake master cylinder for impressive braking performance and superb feel.

- Hydraulically operated clutch features a radial mount clutch master cylinder for worry-free, silky smooth clutch operation.

- Fuel tank features a flush-surface tank cap.

- Idling speed control system contributes to easy starting capability.

- Lightweight Denso radiator with high-density cores provides efficient cooling.

- Massive head pipe casting contributes to frame rigidity.

- Airbox located in the frame, contributing to a very compact layout.

- Engine and chassis components designed to maximize mass centralization.

- Newly designed wheels feature center ribs which are slightly offset so that tire balance weights can be located at the wheel centerline.

 

All told, Kawasaki has once again brought its engineering and design expertise to the forefront of motorcycle creation. The Ninja ZX-14 lives up to its predecessors, and far surpasses them, as the meaning of the word “ultimate” has found a new definition.

E impresionanta,asteptam replica de la ceilalti constructori

Am gasit un jurnal pe net tinut de un motociclist olandez, fan ZX-12R.

 

http://www.zx11.info/zx12r/tests/diary3.htm

 

Jurnalul este bine facut, merita citit.

In ultima parte vorbeshte si despre ZX-14.

 

Cheers.

urata ca porcu'

[Bombardel]

urata ca porcu'

ca busa o fi mai frumoasa... macar asta arata misto din fatza cu farurile alea fatza de desingul de la zx 10 2006

[Fester]

brrr ce urata e!

s-o zicem si pe aia buna, busa e mai frumoasa, cel putin din fata

kwakul asta zici ca are fata de paianjen

[f_zoltan]

Incep sa cred ca o problema producatorilor de asemenea utilaje poate deveni nivelul ridicat de pretentii al viitorilor clienti. Personal sunt adept al chopperelor si tourerelor, iar cand vad unul primeaza performantele tehnice, aspectul vine dupa aceea. Nu mi-ar fi trecut vreodata prin cap sa apreciez forma carenei si a botului sculei de mai sus, mai ales ca pentru mine vitezistele sunt ca si chinezoaicele, toate seamana intre ele.

[strumfuadi]

daaa, shi tzipa aproape la fel..

ontopic: e super mishto magaoaia, pacat cu fatza de paianjen, vba lu' fester..

ma sperie insa evolutzia asta: bigger, faster, more.. [pe better l'am omis, fiindca nu shtiu daca mai e cazul]

unde se va ajunge??

[pistolaru]

Urata ca moartea. Ce e frate cu discurile alea ca floricica? Ce e cu designul ala de anii '90?

 

Si Busa e urata, da cand a aparut a creat un nou standard, o clasa a ei. ZX14 va schimba ceva? Poate, pentru ca se pare ca a stat destul de mult in tunelul aerodinamic, si ca va avea peste 200cp. Ramane de vazut.

[vreau_bani]

prea marfa zx-ul asta. dar este un zxr sau zzr? ca daca incerci sa salvezi pozele la unele scrie zzr si la unele zxr

[ghost-rider]

cu siguranta nu e un nou standard. La motociclte nu kavasaki da tonul. Nu cred ca va avea nici pe sfertul succesului pe care la avut busa in momentul lansarii. Sa nu mai spunem ca toti profani vor zice "uite hayabusa" cand o vor vedea pe strada. dar poate o sa ma contrazica pretul....

[Bombardel]

prea marfa zx-ul asta. dar este un zxr sau zzr? ca daca incerci sa salvezi pozele la unele scrie zzr si la unele zxr

cred a nu au stabilit deocamdata ce e ... pt ca mai peste tot pe net scrie "zx14-r (ZZR1400)"

[unnamed]

e doar ciudata, dar nu as zice ca e urata.

[Skywalker]

e ditamai vaca, dar nu mi se pare urata.....

oricum cred ca e greu sa mai faci ceva cu care sa shochezi clientii in mod placut. Mie unul imi plac pozele de pe forum cu R1 2006, cel putin fata este beton...

YAMAHA A CAM BATUT LA DESING MAI TOATE FIRMELE PRODUCATOARE DE SUPER SPORT ... CU MODELUL DIN 2006 ... AR MAI FI MISTO FIREBLADE-UL DIN 2006

2006=2005=2004 la capitolul design R1

[Bombardel]

2006=2005=2004 la capitolul design R1

daca pana si u care nu prea esti fan Yamaha ai recunoscut ca totusi la design se pricep...

Din contra...chiar sunt fan yamaha si am mai sustinut acest lucru si prin alt topic...cu certitudine cand voi face trecerea la 1L va fi ori o yammy ori o suzeta

si te lasi de vacutze ? albastre

[motortrash]

Toate modelele din 2006 de 1000 de la japonezi rup. Dar ca sa ia o bulina alba si suzuki-ul io spun ca gixerul de 2006 e cel mai cel din clasa ei.

[B-28-MMS]

interesant, cred ca vor sa se dea la hayabusa dar nu prea cred, asteptam o comparaer intre ele

[Andy7Up]

Nush ce sa zik

 

Si Kawa-ul RX-7 Z mi s-a parut kam urat la fatza Nici asta nu e prea reusit dupa parerea mea Acum sa lasam posesorii sa ne contrazik cu performatzele ei ...

[comos]

1400 cm pentru un motor si 192 cai e super mult si nu orice pampalau poate sa calareasca asa ceva. asa ca eu zic ca esti bun si cu un 600 , foarte, dar daca nu itzi ajunge ........ dute la un show room kawasaki..

[Paw waw (talpa iute)]

Iupiii a mai aparut un dric.... la asta care e procentajul de a ramane in viata?????
