Rider Profile

Best For	This is a hyper-sport tourer best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing enormous, immediate power delivery.
Purpose	It's built for effortless high-speed cruising and devastating roll-on acceleration, blending brute performance with long-distance comfort.
Rider Fit	At 268 kg with a long wheelbase, it demands confident strength at low speed and in tight maneuvers despite a manageable 800 mm seat height.
Character	A muscular, unapologetic hyper-sport bike that trades outright track agility for a relaxed, torque-laden riding experience.
Not Ideal For	It's not for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.

Your height

Inseam (optional)

Units

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 2017 Kawasaki ZZR1400, 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.
