Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a hyper-sport machine best suited to experienced riders who can respect its massive top-end power and considerable heft.
PurposeBuilt for high-speed highway blasts, drag-style acceleration, and long straight-road dominance rather than tight technical carving.
Rider FitIts substantial weight and long wheelbase demand confident, physically capable riders, especially at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic.
CharacterA big-bore, in-line four hyper-sport tourer that blends brutal straight-line speed with surprising comfort for a bike of its performance class.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable bike for tight city streets.

2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
