In the ever changing world of global superbike supremacy, the mantra “evolve or get left behind” still holds true. The 2009 Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-14 has not rested on its laurels. The winning traits – massive torque, effortless power, agile handling and comfortable ergonomics – of the 1,352-cubic-centimeter Ninja king have landed it a sizeable collection of open class sportbike victories. Despite ever-tightening noise and emissions regulations, the ZX-14 has continued to set the pace of sportbike excellence ever since its domineering debut in March of 2006.
