The updraged version of Kawasaki 1400 GTR has been shown at the EICMA. The comfort nature of the bike is its forte, and allows ample cushion and space for the rider, pillion and their luggage. The seat for the pillion rider has also been tweaked to add support. The whole bike has scheduled in a new way to offer better stability, handling and ergonomics.
The handle bar or steering of the 2014 Kawasaki 1400GTR is re tweaked to pull the extra weight out. The bike has become more maneuver friendly and rider doesn’t find it rough to ride in cramped traffic. The rear suspension is also been worked out for stiffness and all round comfort. The rear luggage boxes are resting over a new rack for better support. The large wind screen offers good resistance to the wind and it is electrically adjustable too. These adjustments get the air flow in the required direction while aiding the rider with negligible disturbances.
The linked braking is also treated for betterment and the first gear ratio has also been tackled effectively. With new brake master cylinders, the Kawasaki ABS has switched into its 2nd generation with two modes for the purpose.
The look of the bike is the second to none stuff with a large headlight unit shaped in “V”. The bulky muscular fairings add the glam to this bike while making one feel like a complete house for touring enthusiasts. The exhaust is mounted the left side with double barrel arrangement. The monster looking rear houses three luggage packs pointing at the three corners of the world. The snooping tail light is a maze of LED lights with clear lens blinkers attached on either side.
Rider viewable dashboard is not less than a cockpit in terms of equipment. A lot of buttons, dials and displays have been put over there with their respective purposes. Coming to the engine, the 1352cc four cylinder inline engine will produce 155PS @ 8800RPM along with torque ranging to 136Nm at 6200RPM. The rear wheel is connected to the engine with a drive shaft mechanism.
