The Kawasaki Concours 14 1400 GTR is an attractive tourer equipped with a long list of modern features. For the starters, the Kawasaki Concours 14 1400GTR is built on an aluminum monocoque frame which is lightweight, narrow and rigid enhancing the motorcycle’s handling abilities at high speeds.
The motorcycle is propelled by a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line four engine with a displacement of 1,352 cc. The engine sends its power to the rear wheel through a six speed transmission with wet multi-disc clutch. In terms of power, the 4-stroke unit cranks out 160 PS at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 6,200 rpm.
For enhanced safety, the bike is equipped with the Kawasaki’s Traction Control (KTRC) system which reduces engine output when wheelspin is detected, thus improving the traction.
The Kawasaki Concours 14 1400GTR is offered with a starting price of £13699.
Overview

2nd Generation K-ACT
K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement riders’ applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency.
Tetra-Lever Shaft Drive
To ensure that the GTR’s massive torque is transmitted to the tarmac as efficiently as possible, a highly rigid, dual-sided, 4-link swingarm is used. Called the Tetra-Lever, it is designed to offset the lifting or squatting tendency of shaft drives when the throttle is opened and closed.
Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC)
Kawasaki’s first traction control system was designed to provide rider reassurance by facilitating smooth riding on slippery surfaces. The system looks for difference in front and rear wheel speed. When rear wheel spins (i.e. when rear wheel speed is faster than front wheel speed), engine output is controlled to allow the rear wheel to regain grip.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
To warn riders of any tyre pressure irregularities, tyre pressure sensors are fitted as standard equipment. The system allows the rider to monitor tyre pressure while underway. When tyre pressure falls below 220 kPa, a low pressure warning is displayed.
