Tamiya 14084 - 1/12 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R  [14084]

Kawasaki responded the decision on 1999 Paris Motorcycle Show, using the impressive debut of the all-new Ninja ZX-12R. This Ninja ended up being apparently produced in image of a fighter plane, which comes as no surprise considering that its slippery aerodynamics involved the cooperation for the Aerospace Division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. In fact, the ZX-12R invested longer in wind tunnel during its development period than any bike in Kawasaki's history. The outcomes are obvious: small winglets on the sides of this fairing split airflow around the bicycle; little wind deflectors regarding the lower forks deflect turbulent air through the engine; an extended lip regarding edge of the fairing further smoothens out airflow. Additionally, projecting simply ahead of the front fairing, a large scoop takes benefit of higher atmosphere pressure, heightening intake efficiency. A monocoque framework backbone creates an airbox which allows atmosphere to feed the within of the bicycle for air conditioning in addition to ensuring overall rigidity.

The powerplant associated with the Ninja ZX-12R is a gas inserted 4-cylinder 1,199cc engine that pumps out an enormous 178hp. Its four-into-two-into-one exhaust system features a titanium muffler combined with a catalyzer, which helps expel unburned hydrocarbons for cleaner emissions. Kawasaki brilliantly raised the superbike standard in performance, power and aerodynamics making use of their show flagship, the Ninja ZX-12R.
