Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki1400 ZZR Performance Sport 2018 Imperial March

as the years go by, the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance Sport Edition is enriched with some nice peripherals. Desirable? More and more so. Akrapovic and Öhlins were already among the respectable guests at the ball. Recently, Brembo took to the track and set the pace for braking. Following the example of the ZX-10R, no less than M50 monobloc calipers slow down this generous cruiser. A radial master cylinder from the same manufacturer further enhances feel and comfort.
Leaking power, the ZZR 1400 benefits from ECU programming and a revised exhaust system in 2016 to unleash its 200 horsepower while complying with Euro 4 standards. It loses a little torque, but who cares when there's still 16 mkg under the throttle? The dashboard features a day/night mode and a high-visibility dial.

kawasaki's top-of-the-line interstellar vessel is this Performance Sport version of the ZZR 1400. For the European market, it comes standard with an Öhlins TTX39 rear shock absorber and Akrapovic titanium mufflers.

thanks to its patented twin-tube design, the Öhlins TTX rear shock, with its remote preload adjuster, allows full adjustment of the bike's damping parameters.

with 22 possible settings for compression and rebound damping, in addition to the high-end components used in its manufacture, thetTX rear shock absorber equipping the ZZR 1400 Performance Sport is the culmination of the collaboration between these two performance-oriented companies. Both ride comfort and handling are greatly enhanced.

in addition to this shock absorber, the ZZR 1400 Performance Sport comes as standard with a pair of Akrapovic titanium mufflers, which reduce weight and add a touch of sportiness. Riding pleasure is further enhanced by standard features such as a high bubble and seat cover.

yasushi Kawakami, Managing Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, comments:"The ZZR 1400 is naturally the queen of our sportivo-GT models. With so many fans of this model and so many riders who dream of this bike, the new ZZR 1400 Performance Sport equipped with its Öhlins TTX rear shock absorber will bring together even more enthusiasts of ultimate performance in terms of power, equipment and handling."
