Kawasaki Let the good times rol l. Yes, know thyself Because the machinegracingthese pagesextends the outer limits ofanything you've experienced in your motorcycling career. Knowing thyself means knowing one's limits - which is important, because the 1994 Ninja ZX-9R willunveil territory unknown to youterritory reachable onlyon a machinecreated from the sum of Kawasaki's revered engineeringand perfonnance-creating abilities.It's territory that demands respect.And·responsibility. How does the Ninja ZX-9R take youinto the uncharted? With a mindboggling combination that takes the best ofKawasaki's championshipwinning Ninja ZX- 7and the SpeedKing Ninja ZX-11. The ZX-9R's exceptional powercomes from a liquid-cooled 899 ccengine fed by a bank ofbig, 40mmcarbs and Kawasaki's exclusive TwinRamAir intake system. Everyother Kbi ke fitted with this systemsimplyannihilates 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 internationalleve!. You don't need an imagination to know what that means-the facts speak loud and clear. Andyour first ride will punctuate them. If you think you knowyourself, ride a ZX-9R You'll learn things you neverknew were possible. The Ninja ZX-11needs no introduction-the world motorcycling press has taken care ofthat. Andfor the fourth incredible year in a row, it1l be the sport-touring superbike against which the others are judged. Andlike in the past fouryears, they'll probably come up short. Why? Because the 1994 ZX-11 carries on the tradition ofall ZX-11s that have preceded it: It delivers more performance than any other street-legal production motorcycle in the world. If you'reeven a remotely serious motorcycle enthusiast, you probably know the Ninja ZX·11 perfonnance fonnula by heart. For those who don't (and for those who get an adrenaline rush just thinking about what the ZX· 11 is capable of), here it is, in order of how it all happens: Twin Ram Air induction. 40mmsemi-downdraft carbs. Double overhead cams. 16valves. 11:1 compression. Digital ignition. High capacity curvedradiator. Six-speed transmission.5.5-inch-wide rear rim with a 180155 ZR17tire. The chance to owna legend doesnot come everyday. Seize the opportunity: The 1994 Ninja ZX-11. The Ninja ZX·7 proves that "racingbreeds better better street bikes." Go ahead: Swingyour legover the seat and thumb the starter-you've arrived at Sportbike Nirvana. How do youget there? with a frame/suspension/tire combo that makes the ZX-7 feel like it's on rails when apexstrafing. Powerful, progressive discbrakes. And most importantly, Kawsaski's exclusive Ram Air induction system-technology engineered and perfectedin the heat of world-class competition. Absolute purists willrevel in the ZX-7R---8cott Russell's World Superbikechallenge is based on this machine. Needwe say more? Ninja ZX-7 and 7R: Their credentials speak for themselves.
