KAWASAKI 1400 GTR GRAND TOURER (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki 1400 GTR, also known as the Concours 14 or ZG-1400 in different markets, was a sport-touring bike introduced by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in 2007 as a replacement for the original GTR 1000 model.

In 2012, Kawasaki launched the 1400 GTR Grand Tourer, one of the best choices for those riders that were looking for a sporty yet comfortable grand tourer, which provided a spacious 47-liter storage top case, a passenger backrest pad and a color-matched cover, and spacious, rigid, and water resistant interior bags.

In the technical department, the grand tourer motorcycle featured an Economical Riding Indicator that popped out on the LCD when the optimal fuel efficiency was achieved, a second-generation Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-Braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS that enabled controlled, balanced braking performance, and Kawasaki Traction Control (KTRC) system that ensured smooth riding on slippery surfaces or various riding conditions.

As for performance, the 2012 Kawasaki 1400 GTR Grand Tourer was powered by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine that delivered an output power of 155 hp with a peak at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm (102 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,200 rpm.

In addition, the bike featured a 70 mm taller electrically adjustable windshield that reduced the amount of airflow blowing the rider's helmet and wider at the top for less wind to the rider's shoulders.
