Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R: The Last of the Hyperbike Titans

Model 2020 - Mileage 9,000 miles

"Where Brutal Acceleration Meets Touring Refinement"

The King of Velocity

The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R is the swan song of unapologetic hyperbikes, blending 1,441cc of earth-moving power with shockingly civilized manners. This isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a 1/4-mile dominator that cossets you in sport-touring comfort, proving that raw speed and long-distance luxury aren’t mutually exclusive. With its aerodynamic missile profile and electronically tamed fury, the ZX-14R remains the ultimate predator of the asphalt jungle.
