Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS 30th Anniversary utilizes a 1441 cc (87.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 84.0 x 65.0 mm (3.3 x 2.6 inches) with a 12.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja ZX-14R ABS 30th Anniversary measures 268 kg (591 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 1,481 mm (58.3 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.
