1 Comprehensive multi-function LCD
instrumentation includes a trip
computer that estimates fuel mileage,
plus gear-indicator and tire-pressure
readouts for peace of mind. Controller
Area Network (CAN) circuitry reduces
complexity for improved reliability.
2 With its advanced geometry, the
unique 4-link Tetra-Lever Swingarm
provides the suspension response of
a chain-drive sportbike with the smooth-
ness, quietness and reliability of a touring
bike’s shaft drive.
3 Lockable and detachable side cases
hold up to 22 pounds of gear—including
a full-face helmet. The rear rack further
expands storage capability with mounts
for an accessory top case.
Most weekend sportbike riders have their own personal
favorite stretch of two-lane roads laced with fl owing
esses, challenging hairpins, and inviting straight-
aways. Now imagine expanding the possibilities to the
entire continent on the Concours 14, a sport-touring
machine so complete in its mastery of the road it
has earned several Motorcycle of the Year honors.
Its 1,352cc digitally fuel-injected DOHC In-Line Four
engine with variable valve timing leaps to the task,
delivering incredible midrange torque together with a
superbike-strength top-end punch – along with superb
smoothness from dual balancers. Whether sport-touing
by yourself, with that special someone, no gear, or fully
loaded, the Concours 14 allows you to easily adjust the
preload settings on the rear suspension for that perfect
ride. The chassis likewise offers unparalleled command
and comfort with an aluminum monocoque frame
and there’s an electrically adjustable windscreen,
Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start
System (KI-PASS) for “no key” starting and security,
a Tetra-Lever Swingarm, detachable side cases, an
accessory power outlet and optional anti-lock brakes
take this a sport-touring machine to a whole new level.
No wonder all roads belong to the Concours 14.
