KAWASAKINinja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition 2012 - 2013

　　In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition, a bike that raised the bar even higher for other motorcycle manufacturers around the world.

　　The Special Edition model came with two new custom-like paint jobs, such as the Metallic Spark Black and Golden Blazed Green that enhanced the already elegant look of the bike, while the ABS was designed by Kawasaki in a compact and lightweight assembly that didn't add any significant bulk to the bike while keeping its performance.

　　Another serious feature included the back-torque limiting clutch assembly that controlled the rear wheel torque effects at downshifting or coasting, which minimized wheel hop and provided smooth and precise gear shifting with an optimal feel at the lever.

　　The bike featured a central ram air duct located in the newly shaped fairing, which draws cooler, high-pressure air sucked into a larger and more efficient air cleaner, which at full potential, delivered a maximum power output of 210 hp at 10,500 rpm.

　　In the performance department, the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R ABS Special Edition had its heartbeat set by a 1,441cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured lightweight forged pistons and aggressive cam profiles that provided more torque and power throughout the rpm range than any production motorcycle at the time.

　　As for the power figures, the Special Edition model delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 154 Nm (113 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,500 rpm.
