I think it stands for outrageous insurance prices because when I told my agent I got a ZX-14 Ninja she told me to bend over

"z" was Kaw's inline 4 engine prefix. No idea what "x" is.

Perhaps Z for in-line four, as kawasakijockey said, and X for across the frame?

So if I understand correctly it means z=inline 4, x=experimental, 14=1400cc displacement. I guess it makes sense.
