Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine demands an experienced rider comfortable with massive power delivery and high-speed stability rather than a beginner learning basics.
PurposeBuilt as a hyper-sport tourer, its purpose is blistering straight-line speed and long-distance high-speed cruising more than tight technical cornering.
Rider FitAt around 265kg with a low, stretched-out riding position, it rewards taller, stronger riders who can manage its heft at low speeds and in traffic.
CharacterThe ZX-14R is a raw, muscular powerhouse that trades ultimate agility for effortless brute acceleration and rock-solid high-speed composure.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a great fit for new riders, short commutes in heavy traffic, or anyone seeking a light, flickable bike for tight twisty roads.

2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX -14r ABS 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 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX -14r ABS, 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.
