The Kawasaki 1400GTR was a sport-touring motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 2007, replacing the Kawasaki GTR1000. The bike, also known as the Concours 14 or ZG1400, was based on the ZX-14 platform.
In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki 1400GTR, a sport-touring motorcycle that featured several significant modifications in the visual, technical, and performance departments.
The 2010 model came with a KTRC traction control, K-ACT ABS with brake assist, and linked brakes that were optional in some countries and standard in others. These updates enhanced its handling capabilities and added more safety.
The bodywork was also revised to improve engine cooling and minimize engine heat blown to the rider, 40 mm higher mirrors, a redesigned dashboard, a larger windscreen with memory functions, variable heated grips, an optional Fuel Economy Assistance Mode, and an Economical Riding Indicator.
Other changes included the previous tank storage replaced by a locking glovebox in the left fairing, a new exhaust cap, the two-color seat replaced with a single-color seat, a white instrument panel backlight, and fully painted rear panniers.
As for the power figures, the Kawasaki 140GTR had its heartbeat set by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 155 hp at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
