Kawasaki GTR 1400 Concours 14

The Kawasaki Concours®14 ABS motorcycle continues to offer a level of power and poise familiar to riders of modern sport touring motorcycles, yet its upright riding position offers far greater comfort than its purpose-built counterparts. Riders can enjoy its high-powered, versatile and dependable 1,352cc engine derived from the world class Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-14R motorcycle, and for extended sport touring, the motorcycle’s chassis is tuned for ultimate comfort and poise.

Having come to define the sport touring motorcycle category, the Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorcycle remains at the top of its class with incredible performance and nimble agility, making it equally capable of both carving canyons and traversing interstate highways.

The Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorcycle offers far more than its powerful punch riders rave about. The 1,352cc four-cylinder engine boasts Variable Valve Timing (VVT) for economy and smooth responses, providing the kind of torque that makes relaxed, sixth-gear overtaking maneuvers easy.

THE KAWASAKI SPORT-TOURING POWERHOUSE BLENDS THE SOUL OF A NINJA® ZX™-14R WITH THE SOPHISTICATION OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND PREMIUM ACCESSORIES. BUILT AROUND THE THRILLING PERFORMANCE OF A POWERFUL 1,352cc SUPERSPORT ENGINE, THE CONCOURS®14 ABS IS LOADED WITH TOP-SHELF REFINEMENTS.

•1,352cc inline four-cylinder with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) for enhanced low- and mid-range power while maintaining high rpm performance
•Rigid monocoque frame that provides agile handling characteristics and a high degree of rider feedback
•Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS system links the front and rear brakes
•Electrically adjusted windshield with a 3-position vent for added comfort
•The standard hard saddlebags conveniently utilize the ignition key and can be installed/removed/locked quickly and easily thanks to the integrated mounting system

With Kawasaki’s supersport expertise, the Concours14 ABS motorcycle benefits from industry-leading technology, from the K-ACT ABS brakes to KTRC traction control and a Fuel Economy Assistance Mode to help the rider feel more confident during an extended time in the saddle. For convenience it also has a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as well as KIPASS, which allows the ignition switch to be operated and locked without removing the key.

The seat is sculpted and narrow near the front to help the rider reach the ground more easily, and also provides improved comfort and a stylish look. At the rear, the seat is flat and long to keep the passenger at maximum comfort, mile after mile. The adjustable rear suspension features an initial plush feel to absorb small chatter, but stiffens the further it travels in the stroke to maintain the motorcycle’s legendary handling when carrying a passenger and full luggage.

Motorcyclists who wish to use the 2017 Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorcycle for long distance touring will be extremely pleased to hear that an optional touring seat is available under the impressive list of Kawasaki Genuine Accessories. The touring seat provides enhanced comfort for extended journeys and now, thanks to an innovative outer material, is more resistant to heat accumulation when exposed to the sun. This is the anti-U/V material’s first application in the motorcycle industry.

Additional comfort features include a two-position adjustable vent on the electronically raised windshield. This windshield improves the airflow around the rider and reduces the buffeting effect, since the vent removes the low-pressure zone in the cockpit.

A range of optional Kawasaki Genuine Accessories are available at authorized Kawasaki dealers. These include a 47L waterproof top case with one-key system and carrier plate, side spoiler set to enhance air management, touring seat and more.

With Kawasaki Ninja® sportbike-inspired performance, the Concours® 14 ABS provides the ultimate sport-touring platform that is equally adept at carving canyons, devouring highways and negotiating city streets.
