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

In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki 1400GTR, a sport-touring motorcycle with the same visual, technical, and performance specifications as the previous model, except for the redesigned front rotors and ABS, which became standard.

The Kawasaki 1400GTR was a sport-touring motorcycle made by Kawasaki from 2007, replacing the Kawasaki GTR1000. The GTR1400, also known as the Concours 14 or ZG1400, was based on the ZX-14 platform.

In the visual department, the bike retained the same appearance as the previous model, with a full fairing, a tall windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted color-matched panniers, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and five Y-shaped spoke aluminum wheels.

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable bottom-link uni-trak gas-charged shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 310 mm petal discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 270 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.

The 2011 Kawasaki 1400GTR had installed underneath its full fairing a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 155 hp at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
