KAWASAKI 1400GTR Grand Tourer (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

First released in 2007, the Kawasaki 1400GTR was a sport-touring motorcycle based on the ZX-14 platform that replaced the original GTR1000 (Concours) manufactured from 1986 to 2006. The bike was also known as the Concours 14 or ZG1400.

In 2010, alongside the standard model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki 1400GTR Grand Tourer, which packed the same specifications as the base model but with additional touring-oriented accessories for more comfortable and enjoyable journeys.

In addition to the generous panniers, the Kawasaki Grand Tourer was equipped with a 47-liter color-matched top case that accommodated two full-face helmets and featured an integrated passenger backrest for more comfortability.

In the performance department, the bike delivered the same specifications as the standard model, with a1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by a fuel injection system, providing an output power of 155 hp with a peak force at 8,800 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.

The sport touring machine was built on a monocoque pressed-aluminum frame with a 43 mm inverted adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a bottom-link uni-trak gas-charged shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was handled by two 310 mm semi-floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 270 mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
