Kawasaki Let the good times roll. Yes, know thyself. Because the machine gracingthese pagesextends the outer limits of anything you've experiencedin your motorcycling career. Knowing thyself means knowing one'slimits - which is important, becausethe 1994 Ninja ZX-9R will unveil territory unknown to youterritory reachable only on a machine created from the sum of Kawasaki's revered engineering and performance-creating abilities. It's territory that demands respect. Andresponsibility. Howdoes the Ninja ZX-9Rtake youinto the uncharted? With a mindboggling combination that takes the best ofKawasaki'schampionshipwinning Ninja ZX- 7and the SpeedKingNinja ZX-11. The ZX-9R's exceptional powercomes from a liquid-cooled 899 ccengine fed by a bank of big, 40mm carbs and Kawasaki's exclu Twin RamAir intake system. sive Everyother K-bike fitted with this systemsimply annihilates everything in its class:It's up to your imagination what the ZX-9R willdo. It's all harnessed in a ZX-7 based frame,one with geometry and rigidity good enough to have won ten championships on the national and intem ationallevel. You don't need an imagination to knowwhat that means-the facts speak loud and clear. Andyour first ride will punctuate them. If you think youknowyourself, ride a ZX-9R. You'll learn things you never knew were possible. The Ninja ZX-11 needs no introduction-the world motorcycling press has taken care ofthat. And for the fourth incredible year in a row, it'll be the sport-touring superbike against which the others are judged. And like in the past fouryears, they'll probalycome up short. Why? Because the 1994 ZX-11 carries on the tradition of all ZX-11s that have preceded it: It deliversmore performance than any other street-legalproduction motorcycle in the world. If you're even a remotely serious motorcycle enthusiast, you probably know the Ninja ZX-l1 performance formula by heart. For those who don't (and forthose who get an adrenaline rush just thinking about what the ZX11is capableof), here it is, in order ofhowit all happens:TwinRam Air induction, 40mm semi-downdraft carbs. Double overhead cams, 16valves. 11:1 compression. Digitalignition. Highcapacitycurved radiator, Six-speed transmission. 5.5-inch-wide rear rim with a 180/55 ZR17 fire. The chance to owna legend doesnot come everyday, Seizethe opportunity: The 1994 Ninja ZX-11. The Ninja ZX-7 proves that "racingbreeds better better street bikes." Go ahead: Swing your legover the seat and thumb the starter-you've arrived at SportbikeNirvana. How do you get there? with a frame/suspension/tire combo that makes the ZX-7 feel like it's on rails whenapexstrafing. Powerful, progressive discbrakes. And mostimportantly, Kawsaski's exclusive Ram Air induction system-technology engineered and perfected in the heat of world-class competition. Absolute purists will revel in the ZX-7R-Scott Russell's World Superbike challenge is based on this machine, Needwe say more?
