We recently reported about a Suzuki Hayabusa conquering the challenging terrain of Leh-Ladakh. Now, it’s the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R that has made it to the mighty Himalayas and successfully completed a road trip to the Khardungla Pass. A recent post shared by Anzen Kawasaki, the Mumbai dealer for the Japanese two-wheeler brand, captured the mighty ZX-14R at Khardungla Pass.

In case you have been living under a rock, you’d know that the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R uses a 1,441cc 4-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine that is tuned to deliver 200 PS of power (210 PS with RAM Air) at 10,000 rpm and 158.2 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. Stopping power is provided by new monobloc braking hardware by Brembo at the front, which it shares with its supercharged cousins.
