Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine best suited to experienced riders who can manage a heavy, powerful hyper-sport-tourer with authority.
PurposeBuilt for effortless high-speed cruising and devouring long stretches of highway with occasional sporty riding thrown in.
Rider FitAt 268 kg with a low 800 mm seat height it's manageable at a stop, but its bulk demands decent strength and confidence at low speeds and in traffic.
CharacterA brutally fast, refined muscle-tourer that combines a huge four-cylinder engine with comfort-oriented ergonomics and long-distance capability.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for off-road use, tight urban commuting, or riders wanting a light, flickable machine for technical corners.

2013 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 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 ZZR 1400, 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.
