Det ryktas om en Z1400

[Wiseguy]

För bra för att vara sant eller..

"Our European correspendent has reported that his sources say Kawasaki is developing a naked version of its new ZX-14 for release as a 2007 model. The bike is likely to be called the Z1400, and will probably be styled along the lines of the current Z750 and Z1000.

While Kawasaki has yet to release the claimed power output of the ZX-14, it is widely expected that the company will claim 200hp or more (at the crank) when the bike is released. However, when the Japanese OEMs have used sportbike motors in their naked bikes in the past they have typically been 'detuned' versions, designed to produce more torque and lower-RPM power. Even so, 170-180hp at the crank would make the Z1400, if produced, the most powerful naked bike yet."

Mer rykten, denna gång från R&R

"After researching several hints and speaking to various sources it is now clear that Kawasaki is developing a naked version of the new ZZR1400. This will be called Z1400 styled in the lines of the Z750 and Z1000. Expect more than 160bhp to beat BMW K1200R and massive torque from the enormous in-line four. The bike is bound to be more brutal than the rest. It makes sense for any manufacturer to launch several platforms to a R&D job such as the ZZR1400. It's one of the most expensive bikes as such, and maybe the ZZR1400 was launched a bit premature as we still have no tech specs?"
