Kawasaki has released their final (claimed) horsepower and torque specs for their highly anticipated ZX-14 sportbike. Many media outlets had expected Kawasaki to claim 200hp for the ZX-14, but Kawasaki defied expectations – the published specs are 187hp and 113.5lb-ft of torque, with 197hp when the ram-air system is in effect.
So the ZX-14 may not quite reach the magic 200hp mark, but how will it perform? Keep your eye on MD to see our ‘First Ride’ of the ZX-14 in late March.
