World’s fastest motorcycle | Kawasaki ZZR1400 2012
The world's fastest accelerating motorcycle 2012 ZZR1400 is offered by Ninja. Ninja is the trademarked name of a series of Kawasaki sport bikes, which started with the 1984 GPZ900R. Kawasaki is promising the new 2012 ZZR1400 (Ninja ZX-14R in the US) is the world's fastest accelerating production motorcycle.
No power figures have been released but the new bike’s engine has had a stroke increase to 65mm, bringing capacity up nearly 7 per cent to 1441cc from the old model’s 1352ccThe torque spread is huge too, with a claimed 69lb.ft (9.5kgm, 93Nm) available at just 2,000rpm!
The outgoing model made a claimed 197bhp (200PS, 147.3kW) and 114lb.ft (15.7kgm, 154.6Nm) torque, so it’s likely the new model will produce around 207bhp (210PS, 154.5kW), with a peak torque of approximately 120lb.ft (16.6kgm, 163Nm).
