TOPIC: Interesting read about ZX14R and other bikes

Interesting read about ZX14R and other bikes 9 months 1 week ago #1

Found this while looking to see what HP the new ZX14R has. A guy on a stock 2009 ZX14 told me that the new ZX14R had 250 HP and I don't believe it... Anyways... while looking found this article.

www.gizmag.com/kawasakis-2012-zx14-r-wil...torcycle-ever/20158/

Also that the ZX14 stock can do 0 - 100 Kph in 1.9 seconds. Maybe on paper but I found a site that tested and verified different bikes but left out the Zx14 in the list but another site show 2.5 to 2.9 seconds for the ZX14.

Here is a quote from an article "Monster Kawasaki" about new ZX14R in April 2012 issue of "Ultimate Motorcycling" magazine:

"...So we took ZX14R to Peak Performance Motorcycles in Simi Valley and put it in the capable hands of Danny DiNardo and his factory Pro dynamometer...
...Peak Power of 181.18 at 10,000rpm (red line at 11,000) and peak torque of 111.23ft/lbs at 8000rpm - at a rear wheel and without ram-air effect...
...At the drag strip in KTRC traction control Mode 1, the big ZX was putting out so much grunt that the electronics would cut-in at every gear change, even going from third into fourth at over 150mph...
...Rickey Gadson clocked a 9.6-second standing quarter...
...wet weight 584 pounds..."

There is a 0-60 discussion going on...on another forum. Somebody posted a link to a bunch of speed calculators and conversion wizards.

He was calculating 0-60 based on 1/8th mile times and speeds. I calculated my Max at 1.75 seconds 0-60 :scary:

That's ridiculously fast!
