Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 is a motorcycle in the Ninja sport bike series from the Japanese manufacturer Kawasaki that was their most powerful sport bike as of 2006. It was introduced at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show and released for the 2006 model year as a replacement for the Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 (2002-2005). The ZZR1400 is capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 186 mph (299 km/h) as a result of an agreement between the major Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers.

Description
In Midnight Club: Los Angeles, the Ninja is an A-Class, Group 4 Sports Bike. It costs $17,000 and has very high performance, making it a budget beast, however, it's light weight and being a two-wheeled motorcycle has one trade-off, having extremely low damage tolerance and hitting traffic will make the rider fall off the bike.

Performance
The Ninja ZX-14 is regarded as a high-performance motorcycle. It is powered by a 1,352 cc (82.5 cu in) four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 16-valve DOHC inline-four producing 190 horsepower. In-game it has a top speed of 210 MPH (338 KM/H) with no upgrades or 235 MPH (378 km/h) maxed out, slightly lower than that of the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo. It has the overall best acceleration in the game. and handling that is slightly better than the Ducati 1098R. However, as the vehicle is a motorcycle, hitting any traffic at high speed will knock the rider off the bike, wasting up to 5 seconds of their time as the rider has to get back on the bike, making the more expensive exotics a better choice.

Acquisition
The bike can be purchased from the garage in Midnight Club: Los Angeles for $17,000 after receiving the Champion rank.
