Raptors and Rockets are at it again!!!

2007 Kawasaki Z1400, 160bhp + streetfighter
By Tor Sagen/Image by Luc1. After researching several hints and speaking to various sources it is now clear that Kawasaki is developing a naked version of the new ZZR1400. This will be called Z1400 styled in the lines of the Z750 and Z1000. Expect more than 160bhp to beat BMW K1200R and massive torque from the enormous in-line four. The bike is bound to be more brutal than the rest. It makes sense for any manufacturer to launch several platforms to a R&D job such as the ZZR1400. It's one of the most expensive bikes as such, and maybe the ZZR1400 was launched a bit premature as we still have no tech specs?


Kawasaki Versys 1000

Kawasaki have just launched pictures and details of the Versys 650. But our insiders have told us that Kawasaki are also in the process of developing a 1000cc parallel twin for a Versys 1000. Kawasaki will then also use the same engine for a ER1000N and F. These bikes will rival Yamaha TDM 900, BMW F800S and also V-twins such as Suzuki SV1000, Ducati Multistrada and others. Versys 1000 will most likely replace the current Suzuki powered KLV 1000. The new engine might already have been developed as we know that Kawasaki have planned to launch a surprise model early in 2007. Other Kawasaki news might involve a Z250 and a new learner legal 250 supermoto as
