New in Kawasaki 2016: the ZZR1400 stands up

Although ridiculed by the in terms of power, acceleration and maximum speed, the good big remains in the Kawasaki catalog. It even benefits from small updates in its 2016 version, including the switch to Euro 4…
Compliance with this antipollution standard is not trivial since it will allow, as of January 1, French bikers to benefit from the 200 horsepower developed by the large atmospheric 4-cylinder, or even 210 hp with the Ram-air system. !
"By using new parameters in the ECU box, as well as a revised exhaust system, the machine meets the latest Euro 4 emissions standards without any drop in power for this 1441 cc engine," the Greens guarantee..
Atomized by the H2R and its 326 horsepower, the ZZR1400 therefore remains perfectly in line with the and whose maximum torque is limited to 133.5 Nm against 158.2 Nm for the ZZR. On the scale, however, the "Quatorze-cents" and its 268 kg bow to the "Compressed Mile" (238 kg).
In order to more easily read their engine speed and, above all, to better monitor their speed, future ZZRistes also benefit from a – very – slightly modified instrument panel which "now has a high visibility dial and LCD screens, without forgetting the two day / night display modes allowing easy reading whatever the exterior light conditions ".
Also renewed in 2016, the Akashi bomb also received new brake calipers: it swapped the original Nissins for Brembo M50s associated with the radial master cylinder. A paraphernalia that is all the rage on the latest Superbikes, including of course.
The sporty version of the ZZR1400 is always equipped with a custom-made Ohlins TTX39 rear shock absorber, two Akrapovic titanium mufflers and a double curvature screen. The prices and availability dates of the two ZZRs remain to be discovered. MNC will conduct the investigation at the next Milan Motor Show: stay tuned !
For information, the 2015 model of the ZZR1400 is still displayed on the official Kawasaki France website at € 15,799 (in Euro 3 and in 106 hp!), While the Performance Sport model (without Brembo) requires an extension of 2800 euros.
