At the heart of the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX -14 Supersport sport motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 1352 cc (82.5 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 84.0 x 61.0 mm (3.3 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja ZX -14 Supersport measures 257.1 kg (567 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21.95-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
