Love my ZX14R. It is almost a 'one gear' motorcycle most of the time. What I love about this vid is you never downshifted...it was 6th gear all the time. I TRY to explain to my car driving friends how easily these make speed, even in 6th gear, and there is just no way. The stability, solidity, and torque makes these speeds so darn easy. Oh, and kudos to the car drivers for actually obeying traffic laws and getting out of your way. Here in the US we have road warriors that like to sit in the left lane and block faster vehicles.
scottieray thanks - thats all true what you say about this bike - amazing machine. As for people blocking lanes which supposed to be “fast” , believe me its bad here. But not because they are “road warriors” . Because they have no understanding of concept how motorway driving in lanes supposed to work. Seems like its not taught in driving schools ( cant vouch for that because i am not a native Irishman)
hahahah agreed - it can do all road legal speeds in 1st gear and up to 114Mph in second!! Awesome bike!! So damned smooth and easy to ride too! Kawasaki - YOU ROCK!! XD
my R3 bike is a one gear bike also, 5th gear at 30mph and cruise around all day long all the way to 135, and that's not flat out, well it is a cruiser, the torque on this ZX1400 is incredible
They cruise at these speeds so smooth and with no vibration from the motor! I love mine!
I got to indicated 190 mph (306km/h) on it . Bike stayed smooth and steady as a rock. Weirdly there was no sign of limiter and it continued to pull ahead confidently. I have 55 profile tyre instead of standard 50, so i think i actually got over 300km/h
Good quality video,good riding style,really shows the acceleration in top
gear ,that kawasaki has some serious power.
Ballistic!
I agree
absolute adrenaline, would love to test ride one, great video obviously by a mature rider,
100-150 the needle just bounced 👍👍👍
I want one ,,,, oh yeah , ive got one . Its that fast, its scrambled my brain . 😂
Zzr1400 gen2 2012 27,000miles in Green . Naturally 👍👍😎
Loved the vid mate . 👍😎
“Boss I’m going to be late for work” Boss: ok when will you be here? “Now”
Watching the 85 to 175 in 6th gear after slowing for the red car really shows the power off.
they make more horsepower at 7k rpm than a stock 600 will make at peak hp.
Speed doesn't kill -shit driving/riding does. I'd rather share the road with this guy who can handle a bike at 175mph+ than the kind of idiot who does 40mph in a 60 zone and then 40mph in a 30 zone whilst not even being aware of the road in front of them and constantly braking in panic. The police/law should concentrate on that kind of moronic driving more than the competent speed freak who is looking a mile down the road ahead of them and evading all danger. Good riding dude. Own a ZZR14 myself - may be biased in my opinion, but screw the Nanny State and its slowest speed limits in the world. \M/
Edit: Realised you are actually riding in Eire (by the road signs?) - I'm in the UK and we have 5mph less than southern Ireland on motorways, UK motorway speed limits are ridiculously slow - how can we let the Germans have all the fun?! - I got 9 points on my license once thanks to my job as a service engineer and 50,000+ miles a year through the Orwellian speed camera systems and unmarked car surprises and had to spend a while actually driving at 70mph to ensure I kept my license - i actually found it more dangerous to drive at 70mph after a 3 hour morning drive and 8 hours of fixing machinery because it was so incredibly slow and monotonous that it was sending me to sleep. SPEED LIMITS KILL.
good comment, totally agree
@@nopcnightmares that is absolutely true about monotonous driving
What exactly is unsafe about how he is riding here despite the high speeds…. Absolutely nothing, this speed limit thing is all about money and nothing else
It's a natural at high speed cruising and at the drags, my second ever 1/4 mile with my ZX14r was 10.18secs ,totally stock with two years of riding under my belt.... you can't go wrong with the big ZX
I love my ZX14 it a big bike but it’s so well balanced and the power is amazing!! I’ve had mine for a little over a year now and it still catches me off guard at times
Nice and polite driving
I can tell you are having fun on the bike. You must have a big smile on your face :-)
in ireland 2 years ago. left my zxr at home. u r so lucky to have those class roads n less traffic than the poms or euros
fantastic how the bike pulls from 130 to 165 mph in seconds. I remember driving on the autobahn in my 1965 VW Beetle, a car passed me so fast I thought i'd stopped, so i got out :)
Total beast of a bike..Ive had a busa and 3 1k's..I currently ride a Harley Vrod muscle..This is def gonna be in my radar when i purchase another bike...
i have had 2006 model from new...60,000 kms...11 years...cant bring myself to trade it desite being 64, just love the torque, its superb...fiddly suspension tune, but get it right with anew front tyre and it handles like a litre bike
so much power....also shows this bike is too quick for our roads....when cars pull out....that said i want one.
Man, those small numbers of people on the road are what motorcycle riders dream of! Can't find that in my city. It's crowded all the time.
I've got one 2017 performance sport and it is mental the speed it will do its sounds awesome with the Akros on minus the baffles and cats out of the other end of the cans its sounds biblical lol best decision I made was to purchase the big Z
Beautiful bike, there! I dream of riding one someday.
Ride safe :)
+VedderTheFixer Thank you
You will love it!
You'll love it if you do!
You are a respectable driver my friend.
Bravo!
As for the "bad car drivers of Ireland" just forget it, they are just fine!
Come in Greece to see what is the real meaning of bad driving.
I am talking for jungle...
I've heard that Portugal has fabulous newly constructed empty roads perfect for bikers, there are vids on yt
ruclips.net/video/0pO9o_1Q0yQ/видео.html
Gotta love that ZZR baby! ;-) \M/
I now own a Gen 1 2010 & I thought my friends Blackbird was fast until I opened the BigZ up. It just keeps going and going and going, effortless, smooth as silk & no vibration at all. I think you could sit at 186 mph in 5th gear!!! if the roads & law allowed it for miles and miles with ease. What a pleasure to ride,own & when the time comes if I can afford it the only bike I will get is a Gen 2 and sit the Gen 1 in the garage and just look at it for hours :)
Go for it bud only live once 👍👍👍
Ain’t no crown Vic catching that thing! 😂
Excellent video. ...somebody knows how to have fun!
I've spun my ZX14R up to 135 so far, my ZX12R to 160. I need to find a clean road like this to really crank it up for a long duration. Nice video.
I can’t believe how cool she is running at those consistent speeds, my girls running temp is normally 90 odd degrees centigrade.
Which makes me think that maybe the thermostat is not working on mine
I love my 2014 ZX14SE, does your bike have the stock sprockets/final drive ratio?
Yes - standard
awesome mate,the Bentley of motorcycles
Oh, so this is Ireland? Luv the big Z! That's the only bike I want when and if my Black bird ever wears out!
I traded my 2008 Bird for a 2013 ZZR1400 Special Edition. Thought the Bird was a great bike but the ZZR is phenomenal! Trouble is with all this Euro emissions bollocks what will we be riding in 5 years time?
Ian Davies Ethnic Peace Bicycles probably.
The bird was my fav bike of all time, till I bought this monster, for a while I kept both, but was put in a position where I couldn't keep both, unfortunately.
Love the Eco meter kicking in at 110 MPH Although not an excuse that plod would buy.
Wow..what a very beautiful ride..the way its supposed to work..not a bunch of idiot's racing around in traffic at high speeds..
Class.
You know it's Ireland when the car drivers so badly!
bro. These guys are incredible compared to USA drivers. And thats NOT a joke. Anyone from the states will agree with me that you'd NEVER get anyone to move out of the passing lane. You'd have 2 semi trucks side by side both going 69 mph, and then a karen in a SUV in the passing lane going 70 next to them and never lane changing.
wwwow instant power, Go Lotto tonight, and dear Santa for Xmas Haaaaa, great video man
I am seriously thinking about getting a 2019. I’ve been out of the bike world way too long. God these are amazing.
Lv kawasexy..Brutalninja.
That was excellent!
Nice video! I have a ZX14 also and was wondering where you mounted the camera you used for this. Great angle. Thanks!
Camera is mounted on a makeshift plastic "stick" which i pushed into the steering column hole. Fits perfectly.
+rolandsv8 Nice. Appreciate the quick response. Speed safely!
I agree!
👍🏻 good riding style. Hi from Russia, I ride the same bike. And its a pleasure
thank you!
Just effortless even at 170
Good stuff!
eating miles on kawasaki. Looks very easy. No problem, as long as you stop to change the diper every now and then.
I've a deristricted Gen 1 2006...
With 20k on it..
Akro SP carbon end cans, HM SS quickshifter, secondary butterflies removed, K&N filter and custom map.
Goes like stink...
Fast, stable and really good fun.
Though a k5 K6 gsxr thousand are probably more fun, but these 1400,s are quicker top end and more comfier.
Perfect ride..im gettin mine for xmas..lol
That’s gonna be my next bike. Such a shame it was discontinued in Europe!
Model is 11 years old now - long due refresh. I have changed to Hayabusa Gen3. Less power on top end , but otherwise fantastic….
This my future bike . Will go from a 750 to this i can't wait to save money and get brand new zzr1400 monster machine and good for travelling also.
Good riding what a bike that is.
120 mph in eco mode lol. Think one of these will be my next bike after my R1200RT - slight change I know lol
its mad how cars just move the hell over when u R riding one XD
Looks like North Road, Dublin. But what do I know? And I am 7 years too late to comment. Oh well... Nice Green monster!
yes- Ashbourne to Finglas
Amazing Video I Olde Man ...I would like to thank You.I Never did this.Rode olde 39 Knucks ect.Thanks
Racing to the nearest gas station!
great motorways in ireland. i have one of these bikes but when travelling from dublin to galway we were in a mercedes
Was that a cop you passed?
I had a 2009 ZX14 (I think? it was orange and black) I really like it, I had a Busa at the same time and liked the ZX14 better.
I feel the safest when I ride these bikes, they brake and handle well. I quit riding them when I was 60 now I ride a Valkyrie but I miss my ZX14. I want another one...
Nea- did not see any cops...
You passed a car with lights on the roof, I thought it was a cop?
Bass Player time on video?
1:53 After stopping the video you can tell it might be airport police or something like that but @ 140 MPH you don't get much of a look! Plus I don't know what the cop cars look like in your area?
What is that?
Bass Player thats taxi😀
How is your coolant running so cool? No thermostat?
@@gjordan417 good question. Ever since i got it new was like that. Seemed a bit weird but was not giving any problems so did not explore what was reason
There's an issue with this zzr is that it's effortlessly quick.
These bikes are built for high speed just look ahead and plan for re entry. On the lovely highways in Ireland...which ive driven on... high speed is easy. Try this in W.Australia where the roads are 2nd world. With a top speed of 110kmh
awesome
Nice riding. I see you trust the roads.. I'd be shitting it with new potholes coming out every 2 weeks on these garbage roads in Cork
Callusny hehe- thats motorway after all... and i am on this road every day
Nice... Dave AZ
When the police sirens go on at the end of the video... LOL
Bob Flugg its ambulance, not police
Fire engine actually but your getting closer lol
Wow!! I know its a fast bike but blimey 🙃
i would go as far as to say 'cor blimey'
Serenity at speed, not many bikes can claim those attributes...with torque that can't be matched(turbos excluded)
Well said!! It is very calm and reassuring at any speed. To open last 5-10% you actually have to regrip the throttle- then engine goes manic even in 6th gear
this bike is awrsome 😵😵😵
Yeah, u rollin
Haulin Ass!
Moving on!!!!
I just got a 2017 ZX-14 and did about 160 on my first long ride.... it gets hard finding enough highway
insane!!
I agree!
Ballistic!
Jesus, must be getting old, first reaction was: I wonder how long my licence would last?
Were the sirens from a car wanting you to pull over to admire your bike? Lol.
Just ambulance...
Where is this? Not many countries drive on the left but it does not seem to be UK, not least because you won't nornmally find such a quiet dual carriageway in UK. Very good riding by the way, tolerant of d!cks blocking the outside lane.
Jim Clyde thats Ireland
Too bad the law doesn't allow undertaking in Ireland. Lane splitting and undertaking is totally legal out here in California. You can really use the entire road which is often 6-7 lanes.
Utah has legalized lane filtering now.
I bought one wicked machine!
Nice
Someone is in a rush ! Lol!
this is so deadly
Awesome, live this video. I love riding my 14 fast but dude, there's cameras and gatsos in the UK, heard a siren at the end did you get busted?
No , i did not get busted. It was fire truck- you can see it on video ;-)
Here in Ireland police is more laid back. In 9-10 years of everyday riding i got busted by speed van only once. And 1 more time while driving a car. Both times was not exceeding by much so paid 80 euros minimal fine.
I heard it too! lol
JustsayinAgain Today was a big day for me - got to indicated 190 mph (306km/h)for the first time. Bike stayed smooth and steady as a rock. Weirdly there was no sign of limiter and it continued to pull ahead confidently. I have 55 profile tyre instead of standard 50, so i think i actually got over 300km/h
Right! I heard it too!
There is some wobbeling. Is that normal?
That wobbling is camera vibration- not riding air baloon , after all. But bike feels very stable and solid - like train on tracks
That's me when I'm talking to my girl and I think I hear another guys voice in the background.
Hey, how often do you date with cops due to your high speed rides? :D
Máté Ágoston not often at all! Police has more important things to do than try catcing me for mild exceeding which harms noone. I think i got 2 tickets in like 8 years of everyday riding.
rolandsv8 lol mild speeding
@@rolandsv8 officer to biker; 'do you know why i pulled you over?' biker, 'cause i let you.'
@@rolandsv8 bro in the usa youd get thrown to the ground and handcuffed, and your bike impounded and crushed, and thousands of dollars in fines, possible jail time, losing your license.. They hate speeders here, doesnt stop me. I ride the same bike as you, and I ride it in a very similar manner, the way you think about and respond to traffic patterns seems very similar to my own just by watching how you react to things.
Bad ass
Do you still like the bike? Any problems?
Fast5. Ru yes - excellent bike in every way. Very stable, fast, confidence inspiring and easy to ride. Feels much more refined and lighter than Hayabusa even though they are the same weight. Thirsty for petrol , though.
Thank you, Sir
rolandsv8 I did ask you just after purchasing one. Now, after 1 year of ownership I still like it a lot. ✌🏻
That's onw WICKED bike. The first (and only) time I rode one, it was my brother's and I'd had bike license for three months and my little Ninja 300 (my first bike) for one. I didn't even have courage to go over 80mph on it, and twisted the throttle minimally, scared of the savage power. Today I'd have the guts to accelerate it a tad harder, but my brother sold it. Will have to wait until I can buy one myself. =/
ryvoltz hehe- i know the feeling when you get from small bike to something like this. But comparatively zzr is very easy and relaxing to ride. Try Hayabusa- that is like a tractor with nuclear engine. Demands extreme concentration in the beginning
Finally someone agrees with me on that. I always thought the ZZR had a sport-touring feel, despite its immense power. On the other hand, many people recommend I get a Hayabusa for my next bike becase it's a sport-touring bike (yeah, right), but it always felt much more of a superbike, especially the sitting position. "Easy" and "relaxing" are words that come to my mind when I ride my FZ6R (or XJ6F here in Brazil). Twice the power of the little Ninja, but I find it much more docile. Enjoy your ZZR for me! =P Cheers!
ryvoltz how is Hayabusa sport touring and zzr - not?? You are right - hayabusa sitting position is pretty much like sportsbike. Hard for legs on longer journeys. Big Hayabusa fairing offers better wind and rain protection. Zzr has more room for legs and more straight for back. But because you sit straighter, your bottom gets numb pretty quickly -
Strange you should say that. When I rode it, it felt like I could ride for hours no problem. But I'm a maniac; it took me less than a month to run in (1000 miles) my little Ninja 300. So maybe I'm suspicious to talk about riding comfort.
🙏💯🏅🥇
3:22 ok my pee meter came on.
I would be petrified of it I am only used to my 1979 honda cm400 🤔🤔🤔
Busa Killer
Busa stock can go 3++kmh
Thing is, if one of those cars does something stupid then at 160 you are dead.
I mean smaller, my bad lol
I have an kawasaki zx10r and kawasaki H2r
High speed test? Thats just joy riding. No testing whatsoever
Guy Owen Curious-where do you see word "test"???
This looks like texas, all slower drivers are cruising on left lane :)
and splitting traffic, haha
lol
lol. true!
The acceleration at 6:06 is disgusting. What the F.
BMW 1600GT does me.....
It's to hope PCs plod doesn't see your clip showing speedo !! He might pay you a visit lol they do watch RUclips for offenders 😉
mirrored camera taken on the autobahn
add a bigger rear sprocket and you'll bet 200mph :-)
Unfortunately opportunities to use that speed is nearly nonexistant. So standard sprocket will do fine- and will keep better acceleration. I got to 190 mph on speedometer with a higher profile 55 tyre . Was no sigh of limiter yet. Because of that tyre i reckon i could have been over 300km/h
1:52 police?
CarPower taxi
3 months in the jail for they speeds m8
Much quicker in 5th gear...6 is a bit of a waste of time and more for cruising/economy.
I am more touring kind of guy- so leave it in the 6th and let the engine do the job without clonking the gearbox. It has plenty of oomph even in 6th
They are Bad as Hell!
Im sure you passed a copper lolol
was Taxi probably
