The
Kawasaki Ninja ZX14R is a rage since its launch in the year 2006. This is the
biggest displacement offering in the Ninja range of super sports motorcycles
from Kawasaki. It’s also the most powerful Ninja ever built by the company. The
2012 model is one of the fastest production bikes on sale in the market.

Kawasaki
has turned the 2012 Ninja ZX14R into a sheer powerhouse by increasing the
displacement to 1441cc. It now comes with an updated fuel injection system and advanced
catalyzer for lower emission. It has now reshaped combustion chambers and reinforced
cam chain in the camshafts.

A
major change in the 2012 Ninja ZX14R is an
all new oil jet cooling system and an improved engine compression ratio of 12.3:1
along with the 2mm thicker crankshaft main journals. These changes offer the
Ninja more power in the entire rev range and make it most powerful motorcycle on
the track. Apart from it, the 2012 model has a 10mm longer swingarm, 43mm
inverted fork and adjustable single shock and slipper clutch and a KTRC
traction control and ignition system.

It
comes with three riding options the full power, medium power and a third option
for low traction conditions which can be operated through the toggle switch
mounted on the handle bar easily. Apart from the technical changes there are noticeable
changes in the design of the 2012 model. The headlight and front stance is now
more aggressive but the side paring styling is been retained which is a good
move by the engineers and the designers.
