Tamiya #14084 – 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja Zx-12R

Kawasaki’S Legacy Of Cutting-Edge Sportbikes Has Inspired Motorcycle Fans For Generations. Recently, The Call For 300Km/H Plus Super Sports Bikes Has Motivated Several Manufactures To Bring Out Powerful Contenders.&Nbsp;

&Bdquo;ÄÄ

Kawasaki Answered The Call At The 1999 Paris Motorcycle Show, With The Impressive Debut Of Their All-New Ninja Zx-12R. This Ninja Was Reportedly Created In The Image Of A Fighter Plane, Which Comes As No Surprise Considering That Its Slippery Aerodynamics Involved The Cooperation Of The Aerospace Division Of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. In Fact, The Zx-12R Spent More Time In The Wind Tunnel During Its Development Phase Than Any Motorcycle In Kawasaki’S History. The Results Are Evident: Small Winglets On The Sides Of The Fairing Separate Airflow Around The Bike; Small Wind Deflectors On The Lower Forks Deflect Turbulent Air From The Engine; A Long Lip On The Edge Of The Fairing Further Smoothens Out Airflow. Also, Projecting Just Ahead Of The Front Fairing, A Large Scoop Takes Advantage Of Higher Air Pressure, Heightening Intake Efficiency. A Monocoque Frame Backbone Creates An Airbox That Allows Air To Pass Through The Inside Of The Bike For Cooling In Addition To Ensuring Overall Rigidity.&Nbsp;

The Powerplant Of The Ninja Zx-12R Is A Fuel Injected 4-Cylinder 1,199Cc Engine That Pumps Out An Abundant 178Hp. Its Four-Into-Two-Into-One Exhaust System Features A Titanium Muffler Paired With A Catalyzer, Which Helps Eliminate Unburned Hydrocarbons For Cleaner Emissions. Kawasaki Brilliantly Raised The Superbike Standard In Performance, Power And Aerodynamics With Their Series Flagship, The Ninja Zx-12R.&Nbsp;
