BLISTERING SPEED … PRECISION HANDLING … TOURING COMFORT … 1400GTR … HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO !


Take one ZX-14 based 1400cc fuel-injected, dual RAM AIR four cylinder engine, add variable valve timing, shaft drive, Tetra-lever rear suspension, an electronically adjustable windshield, superbly comfortable ergonomics and a seamlessly integrated luggage system and what do you have? The world’s first transcontinental supersport motorcycle. Incredible acceleration, razor sharp handling and amazing high speed stability, all with the level of comfort you’d expect from a purebred long distance touring motorcycle. The 1400GTR from Kawasaki … who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Increased Wind Protection
  • The electrically adjustable windscreen is now 70 mm taller and is wider at the top. The new windscreen’s increased height allows air passing over the top of the screen to flow smoothly around the rider’s helmet. The wider top portion of the screen results in less wind striking the rider’s shoulders and upper arms. There are also four preset positions from which the rider can choose.

  • Kawasaki Traction Control

    The 2010 1400GTR features KTRC, Kawasaki's first traction control system, giving riders the piece of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence. The system looks for difference in front and rear wheel speed. When rear wheel spin is detected, engine output is controlled to allow the rear wheel to regain grip.

 

Grip Warmers
Stepless adjustable grip warmers are fitted standard to the 2010 1400GTR. The switch is located close to the driver for easy access.
K-ACT ABS
K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS enables riders to execute controlled, balanced braking. Designed to complement rider's applied brake force, K-ACT ABS ensures ideal brake force distribution to maximise braking efficiency.
Increased Heat Protection
Sharin CFD The side and centre cowlings on the 2010 1400GTR have been redisigned to dissipate hot air more quickly. The sides are also wider further reducing the amount of hot air hitting the rider.The result is increased rider comfort.

 

  • KI-PASS Keyless Ignition
    KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System) is a master key system that allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch. This is the first application of an electronic authorisation system to a touring machine and greatly enhances rider convenience as well as security, thanks to the incorporation of an ignition immobiliser.

 

Variable Valve Timing
A first in the touring category, variable valve timing alters the camshaft timing in response to rpm and throttle position. The result is high torque output in the low and medium rpm ranges and awesome high-rpm power at the top end. Combustion efficiency is also improved, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency.
Tyre Pressure Sensors
Fitted as standard equipment (an industry first), tyre pressure sensors warn the rider of tyre pressure irregularities and allows the rider to monitor tyre pressure while underway. When tyre pressure falls below 220 kPa, a low pressure warning is displayed on the instrument panel. The ability to take into account temperature changes and display values recalculated for 20°C helps prevent false warnings when the air expands as the tyres warm up.
Tetra-Lever Suspension
The Tetra-Lever rear suspension is supported at four points on the left and right side and mounts to Kawasaki’s unique Uni-Trak suspension system. This system almost completely eliminates the up/down movement associated with shaft drives during acceleration and deceleration, resulting in a very natural ride feel.

Shaft Drive
A two-point jointed shaft is used, ensuring smooth power delivery to the road surface, and delivering a ride quality and chassis behaviour very natural in feel and similar to chain drive, with the added benefits of the very direct “shaft drive feel.”
