Kawasaki 1400 GTR Grand Tourer
2014
2014
The 2014 Kawasaki 1400 GTR Grand Tourer represents a significant iteration in Kawasaki's sport-touring lineage. Building upon earlier models, it aimed to provide long-distance comfort and capable handling. A direct competitor in the market at the time was the Yamaha FJR1300, also offering a blend of power and touring amenities.
At the heart of the 2014 1400 GTR lies a substantial 1352.0 ccm engine. This powerplant generates a peak torque of 136.0 Nm at 6200 RPM, providing ample pulling power for fully loaded touring. The motorcycle tips the scales at 303.0 kg, reflecting its robust construction and touring-focused features. Fuel capacity is a generous 22.00 litres, allowing for extended journeys between fill-ups.
The riding experience on the 2014 1400 GTR leans towards comfortable long-distance travel. The rider sits at a seat height of 815 mm (at its lowest setting, if adjustable), which helps many riders to easily reach the ground. While not a track-focused machine with rearset pegs, it offers a balanced chassis and responsive handling for its class. The upright riding position reduces strain on wrists and back, crucial for extended time in the saddle.
The Kawasaki 1400 GTR Grand Tourer from 2014 appeals to riders seeking a comfortable and capable machine for covering significant distances. It's for those who value a powerful engine and ample luggage capacity. While it might not offer the visual drama of some sportbikes or the low-slung attitude of a cruiser, it provides a practical and enjoyable experience for touring enthusiasts.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Effortless long-distance cruising is facilitated by the powerful 1352cc engine, providing ample torque for comfortable touring. • The electrically adjustable windscreen and heated grips significantly enhance rider comfort in varying weather conditions. • Shaft drive minimizes maintenance compared to chain drives, simplifying long journeys and reducing upkeep requirements. • Integrated hard luggage offers ample storage space for extended trips, allowing for secure and convenient packing. • Advanced features like ABS and traction control enhance safety and provide rider confidence in diverse road conditions. • The comfortable rider and passenger ergonomics make long rides enjoyable, reducing fatigue and increasing overall comfort.⚠️ Things to consider
• The bike's considerable weight can make it challenging to maneuver at low speeds and in tight spaces. • Fuel economy can be relatively poor compared to smaller touring motorcycles, especially at higher speeds. • The complexity of the electronics can potentially lead to expensive repairs if issues arise. • The sheer size of the bike may not be ideal for riders of smaller stature or those new to large motorcycles.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
