KAWASAKI 1400GTR (2007-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki GTR1400 was a sport touring motorcycle made by Kawasaki from 2007 until 2022. The bike replaced the Kawasaki GTR1000, also known as Concours, manufactured from 1986 to 2006.

The GTR1400 was introduced in September 2007 and was based on the Kawasaki ZX-14 model. The Concours name is derived from a gathering of prestigious machines in a contest of elegance, like the French Concours d'Elegance.

The GTR1400 featured a more modern and aggressive design compared to its predecessor. The bike was dressed in a full fairing with a large windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, a small luggage rack, side-mounted hard panniers, an exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

In the performance department, the 2007 Kawasaki GTR1400 had installed underneath its full fairing a 1,352cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system, delivering 155 hp at 8,500 rpm and 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque at 6,200 rpm.

The bike's engine was tied to a six-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch, linked to the rear wheel through a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 254 kph (158 mph).

From top speed to a complete halt, the bike relied on two 310 mm discs tied to four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 270 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power.
