Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
The primary focus for any buyer should be the May 2025 MOT entry, which notes a fractured central front motorcycle structure and a cracked front fairing. You should verify whether these issues were professionally repaired or if they remain as existing defects. Given the speed capabilities of the ZX1400, structural integrity is paramount; a specialist inspection of the chassis is strongly recommended.
Beyond the structural notes, check the service history for evidence of major maintenance on the 1352cc engine, such as valve clearance checks, which are not captured in MOT data. Negotiate the price based on the current state of the fairings and the remaining life of the brake discs, which have been flagged in multiple years.
Owning a 1352cc petrol engine involves significant fuel expenditure, particularly for short trips. Insurance for a bike of this power and displacement is typically high, and the vehicle will fall into a standard tax bracket for its era.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the cost of high-performance tyres and the recurring need for brake disc replacements, as evidenced by the MOT advisories in 2023 and 2025. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be substantial.
Carefully inspect the central front structure and the front fairing to assess the extent of the fracture and cracking mentioned in the 2025 MOT. Check for any signs of previous accident repair or non-standard welding in the chassis area.
Examine the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, as these were flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2025. Additionally, check the rear suspension linkage for any play or movement, referencing the advisory recorded in May 2023. Ensure the front tyres have sufficient tread, following the wear advisory noted in 2022.
This green 2009 Kawasaki ZX1400 has recorded 54,892 miles as of May 2026. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, though the records indicate recurring issues with brake wear and a specific structural advisory in 2025. It represents a high-capacity machine with mileage that is moderate for its age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Kawasaki ZX1400 D9F ABS variant.
