2014 Ultra 310R - First release of the 310R

The “Racy” Ultra

A good portion of any Ultra’s success has long been a result of the craft’s hull design. It’s the epitome of a deep-V when it comes to personal watercraft, with a 22.5-degree deadrise that allows it to literally part the seas. The 2014 Kawasaki Ultra 310R is one of the most confident rides found for those who favor ocean conditions, holding a line in both chop and swell while keeping driver and passengers safe with its exceptional stability. At the same time, it’s also a hull that can hold its own in the calm. Despite its substantial girth, trim the nozzle down and rail into a sharp corner and the boat holds an impressively sharp line, sponsons digging in to help anchor the stern and potent engine allowing you to push the limits.

Turning to the deck, the ergonomics pair well with the hull’s agility. The saddle is slimmer than the average Ultra, inviting riders to grasp it with their thighs as well as use their legs to brace and handle much of the force that would test your upper-body strength. Feel the texture and you’ll also note that it’s “race” grippy, keeping a hard-charging pilot from sliding out of position. There’s only a single bolster of any significance, one which works with that grippy vinyl to lock the rider in place while offering welcome support and a snug feel. Nonetheless, that saddle is still wider than the competition. Shorter legs may feel pushed uncomfortably wide after extended seat time.

The R-model handlebars complete the race-inspired picture. Unlike the molded-cover enclosure found throughout the Ultra line, it’s aftermarket in style, with an exposed skeletal look, cast-aluminum neck and bare handlebar with motocross-style crossbar pad. It’s cool, but not just for show. The setup features less play than the typical stock Ultra setup. And though the angle is not adjustable on the fly like other Ultra models, it sports a surprising amount of adjust ability for the driver seeking to find their ultimate position and then lock it in to stay. Height and mount positions offer 12 separate positions. Should you wish to add accessory clamps, you can add six more to that total. The end result is the type of precise, solid feel you’d expect from a race boat.

With the addition of its Eaton twin-vortices supercharger and large intercooler, the 310R churns out a legitimate 310 horsepower. It also produces an impressive 1,890 pounds of thrust. Squeeze the throttle and the craft literally roars to life, rocketing out of the hole with a force that will test your arm strength…and a sound sure to bring a grin to your face. Keep on the throttle, toggle up the trim and you should peak at about 67 mph, the craft’s governed speed to keep the authorities happy. That deep-V hull may slightly affect top speed but as I’ve stated in previous reviews, I’ve seen considerably faster in the right conditions.

Though the 2014 Kawasaki Ultra 310R is obviously slanted toward the performance crowd, it does have its practical features and comforts. Cruise control is one obvious nod to the recreational enthusiast. Find your favorite speed, lock it in via a handlebar-mounted button and lengthy no-wake zones or open-water cruises aren’t such a hassle. A no-wake mode is also welcome, as is an ECO setting, which matches the craft’s response and speed to the best fuel savings.

Capacities also remain a classic Ultra strength. Yes, you may need every bit of the 20.6-gallon fuel capacity if you’ve got a heavy hand on the throttle but at lower speeds that capacity expands the craft’s range. For a race-minded boat, the 2020 Kawasaki Ultra 310R is also extremely gear-friendly, offering 56 gallons of total storage between the large front bin, glovebox and under-seat nook. Kawasaki’s anti-theft-prevention device also makes the boat more touring friendly, enabling you to leave the craft at the beach or waterside eatery with less worry. A secondary key continues to govern speed for those times you turn the craft over to kids or friends who you don’t want to experience every bit of that 310hp potential.

Please note if paying the $500 deposit, remaining balance must be paid within 7 days.

Norfolk Island Shipping Details

A sea-exchange usually takes place to complete the journey to Norfolk but rough seas will cause the exchange to be cancelled and the order will return back to Sydney before being re-dispatched - Which can take another 6-8 weeks.

Delivery Times:

All orders shipped out of Australia are shipped with Australia Post Express Courier International. They advise 5-10 business day delivery to most countries around the world. Remember that once the goods arrive in your country, Australia Post might require local contractors for on-forwarding and they are then relying on them to operate efficiently and without error. Due to the many variables encountered with international freight contractors, BK cannot be held liable for international consignments that are lost in transit. At this time we do not offer insurance on our international shipping. Please be aware that you accept responsibility for lost international consignments and BK will not re-ship or refund your order.

Customs/Duties:

International orders may be subject to local charges. Any customs or import duties and associated fees are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be.

BK cannot be held responsible for any additional charges on your order, nor can we accept a return of the order in this case. Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so please contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay these charges your parcel may be abandoned, and BK will not be held responsible for any loss of funds as a result of this occurrence.

Every country has their own customs department, the easiest way to locate and contact them is to use Google and type in: "Customs and import duties - followed by the name of your country" and you will be able to navigate to the appropriate site and contact them to complete the delivery.
