ZZR not quite 200bhp

Kawasaki’s ZZR1400 wont be the 200bhp bike that everyone thought it would be – but it gets pretty close.

The firm has released official power figures and without ram-air the bike is claimed to make 187bhp, still a pretty impressive helping of go.

But put ram-air in to play and you can expect 197bhp from that stock bike accompanied by a massive 113.5ftlbs of torque.

The firm also confirmed that you’ll be able to own one of the beasts for £8,995 – just £200 more than the 2006 ZX-10R.

The first machines are expected to arrive at dealers by April.
