![]() Its hats off to the designers at Kawasaki for their creative imaginations. To meet the growing level of noise regulations, Kawasaki took a look inside the engine and reduced the sound in the engine at its source rather than trying to beef up the exhaust system, which in turn leaves a more free flowing route for the exhaust gases! Very ingenious. Kawasaki claims the net result is an overall power gain from the unit! The ZX-14 has also managed to become more environmentally friendly, by adding a third catalyzer which reduces emissions and goes a long way to meeting the ever-growing emission control laws. Of course, you have to put the engine somewhere on this bike, so let's get to the frame of the Kawasaki ZX-14. The ZX-14's aluminium sections of its frame have been produced using gravity casting in the past, but nowadays Kawasaki have switched to die-casting, a process which helps to produce a lighter frame. It's monocoque design is, as always, very light and very strong. This motorcycle uses true ram-air induction, by taking the air from the center of the fairing to the airbox, again an approach designed to optimise the power output. The handling on the Kawsaki ZX-14 is superb, with the rear suspension using Kawasaki's 'uni-trak' design, helping to drop the center of gravity by lowering the weight within the chassis with bottom-link design. The Kawasaki ZX-14 is an incredible street motorcycle. Power and handling are overflowing all in one package. Beware though! This is not a bike for the novice, or the faint hearted. Prepare to be blown away....
