Kawasaki GTR1400 For Sale
What Is It?
The Kawasaki GTR1400 is a sports touring bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 1,352 cc inline four engine with Variable Valve Timing, producing 152.9 bhp at 8,800 rpm and maximum torque at 6,200 rpm. Power reaches the rear wheel via a shaft drive.
Features include:
- Aluminium twin spar frame
- Dual 310 mm wavy discs up front with Nissin four piston calipers
- 270 mm wavy disc at the rear with two piston caliper
- Adjustable 43 mm upside down fork with 113 mm travel
- Adjustable shock with 136 mm travel
- Slipper clutch
- 4->1 exhaust system
- 6 speed gearbox with gear position indicator
The bike is heavily based on the ZZR1400 sports bike, sharing the same 1,352 cc engine in a lower state of tune (-35 bhp) for easier low-mid speed riding. The main differences are the addition of a tall electrically adjustable screen, panniers, a more relaxed riding position and shaft drive all of which unfortunately adds a lot to the weight.
Storage is excellent with huge panniers, there's a glovebox on top of the fuel tank, a 12V socket for sat navs and keyless start.
The 10-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 190/50 at the rear.
Accessories include a top box, ABS (adds 4 kg), heated grips and taller screen.

It's also called the ZG1400 or Concours 14.
