Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki1400 GTR 2016 A wink to go further

a lover of the open road, the 1400 GTR is in a class of its own when it comes to Grand Touring machines. It's the only one equipped with a hull frame and a 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing. Long-distance riders will be more attracted by its performance. And in 2015, Kawa has decided to fine-tune on-board comfort.

silhouette unchanged, technology preserved, presence preserved... it's in the details that you'll find the evolutions. First and foremost, they concern the rider's seat. The seat has been re-curved to make it easier for the rider to put his feet on the ground, and for the passenger to gain in comfort and support. The windscreen is still electrically adjustable, just with the left thumb, and now features a 2-position adjustable window at its base. This opening reduces turbulence for the rider.
The greens take the opportunity to redesign the ABS module, which is more compact and offers greater precision. A touch of class: stainless-steel crowns on the counters. On the mechanical side, the 1st gear has been shortened and the ECU recalibrated to facilitate take-off. With its generous engine, did this vessel really need it? But we're not going to turn down a little extra flexibility. As for the steering, a new fork shaft seal makes it a little lighter. Oh, and the rear suspension settings have been revised to better accommodate heavy loads.

broadly speaking, the 1400 GTR remains true to its philosophy, with plenty of features to take you a long way with the right equipment. For hand comfort, heated grips are standard, and once you've had a taste of them, it's hard to do without the 1400 GTR's extras: kIPASS keyless start system, tire pressure monitoring, 12 V socket, Tetra-lever cardan shaft, glove box on the tank, 14 mkg of torque and 155 hp underneath, KTRC, traction control, K-ACT, assisted braking 2nd-generation coactive braking - the rider has 2 possible choices of braking management depending on his style and/or driving conditions, 37-liter panniers, optional 47-liter top-case, power mode selection, and a little taste of ZZR in the pistons. The competition in its segment is tough, but that doesn't seem to impress it.
