Rider Profile

Best ForThis is a machine for experienced riders who are comfortable managing very strong acceleration and a substantial amount of mass at speed.
PurposeBuilt as a hyper sport-tourer, it excels at devouring long highway distances at high speed while still offering genuine sport performance when asked.
Rider FitAt 257 kg dry with a long wheelbase, it rewards riders of above-average strength and confidence, especially in slow-speed maneuvers and parking.
CharacterIt has the personality of a effortless, brutally fast shaft-driven cruiser-missile, smoothing out big miles with turbine-like refinence and huge in-gear torque.
Not Ideal ForIt is not the right choice for new riders, off-road use, tight urban commuting, or anyone wanting a light, flickable city bike.

Rider Fit Visualizer

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Kawasaki ZZR1400 ABS, 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.
