Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who can respect and manage 200 horsepower delivered through a big, heavy chassis.
PurposeBuilt as a hyper-sport tourer, it excels at devouring long highway distances at high speed while still being capable of shocking acceleration on demand.
Rider FitAt 268 kg with a low-ish 800 mm seat height, it is manageable at a standstill but its bulk becomes noticeable in slow, tight maneuvers.
CharacterThe ZZR1400 Performance is a brutally fast, refined, and stable long-distance missile with a smooth inline-four character rather than a razor-sharp track weapon.
Not Ideal ForThis is not the right bike for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.

2014 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance 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 2014 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 Performance, 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.
