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

The Kawasaki 1400GTR was a sport-touring motorcycle that debuted in 2007 to replace the Kawasaki Concours (GTR1000). The 1400GTR was also known as Concours 14 or ZG1400 in some markets and was based on the ZX-14 platform.

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki 1400GTR, a sport touring machine that received two modifications: redesigned front rotors for a smaller carrier and handle warping, and the bike's wheels painted black instead of silver.

Besides that, the 2012 motorcycle featured the same specifications as the previous model, with standard features, such as a full fairing, a smoked windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted hard panniers, and black-finished five Y-shaped spoke wheels.

The bike was still built on a monocoque pressed aluminum frame with 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.

The braking power was achieved by two semi-floating petal discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 270 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping performance.

As for the power figures, the 2012 Kawasaki 1400GTR had its heartbeat set by a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 155 hp with maximum strength at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.
