Launched in 2006 in the hypersport class, the motorcycle created a unique place for itself and is still one of the favorites of experienced motorcyclists. Evidently the 2012 ZX-14R was a huge improvement over its previous iterations as it not only featured a marginally bigger engine, but important features like Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC), slipper clutch, revamped suspension and brakes as well.<\/p>\n<p>All in all it was a complete motorcycle but there was something missing. It was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carblogindia.com\/abs-anti-lock-braking-system-and-ebd-electronic-brake-force-distribution-in-plain-english\/\" target=\"_blank\">ABS<\/a> which was absent but gladly Kawasaki has unveiled the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R and has added the missing ingredient. The 2013 model of ZX-14R returns with a compact, lightweight ABS that will increase the confidence of every prospective buyer and will help provide additional security in slippery conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border-width: 0px;\" title=\"2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ridetalks.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2013-Kawasaki-Ninja-ZX-14R.jpg\" alt=\"2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R Key Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Massively powerful 1,441cc inline-four engine is the strongest motorcycle engine Kawasaki has ever produced and delivers the most power of any current production sportbike in the world<\/li>\n<li>New ABS brake option is available for 2013.
