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

Kawasaki answered the call within 1999 Paris Motorcycle Show, utilizing the impressive first of the all-new Ninja ZX-12R. This Ninja ended up being apparently developed inside image of a fighter plane, which comes as no surprise given 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 stage than any bike in Kawasaki's history. The outcome are evident: small winglets on the edges for the fairing split airflow round the bike; tiny wind deflectors on lower forks deflect turbulent atmosphere from the motor; a lengthy lip regarding edge of the fairing further smoothens out airflow. Additionally, projecting just prior to the front side fairing, a big information takes advantage of greater air pressure, heightening intake efficiency. A monocoque frame backbone produces an airbox that enables atmosphere to feed the inside of bike for cooling as well as ensuring overall rigidity.

The powerplant associated with Ninja ZX-12R is a gas injected 4-cylinder 1,199cc motor that pumps out an abundant 178hp. Its four-into-two-into-one exhaust system features a titanium muffler combined with a catalyzer, which assists expel unburned hydrocarbons for cleaner emissions. Kawasaki brilliantly raised the superbike standard in performance, energy and aerodynamics using their series flagship, the Ninja ZX-12R.
