The 2009 ZZ-R 1400, sold as the Ninja ZX-14 in many markets, is a 1352 cc liquid-cooled sport-tourer from the first generation of Kawasaki's big-bore flagship. It pairs ram-air induction with an aluminium monocoque frame and a fully adjustable Uni-Trak rear end. The bike was aimed at high-speed touring as much as outright sport riding.
