Our friends over at Motorcycle USA have announced the winners of their 2012 awards. The Kawasaki ZX-14R has been bestowed upon with top honours by winning the prestigious ‘Motorcycle of the Year’ award 2012. The Ninja ZX-14R is truly a top-notch performer and has been a crown jewel in Kawasaki USA’s arsenal for quite some time now. Speaking to the media at the event, the jury of Motorcycle USA awards 2012 stated, “Versatility is yet another weapon in the Ninja’s arsenal. With its undemanding riding position, cozy seat and big windscreen the ZX-14R is equally adept at cross-country touring as it is laying down 10-second quarter mile runs. Best bike of 2012? We’re sticking with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R”.
