The Sports Tourer oriented can go the distance with the best rigs in the world tour still cornering Backroads of America ultimately inspired Ninja tradition. Through gorges, roads and even through the cities in the Contest is a motorcycle category to define.
Concours 14 boasts several features that enhance comfort, convenience and security, the consolidation of its position at the top of the heap Sport Touring. Dynamic body for maximum comfort, directing heat away from the rider and passenger. Long, the cockpit creates an electrically adjustable windshield help calm the channels over the dashboard, which is to equalize the pressure inside and outside the screen. Heaters taken as standard, offering comfort when the temperature falls uncomfortably cold.

The competition is equipped with technology that improves the driving experience. The bike of K-ACT (Kawasaki coercive braking Technology) braking system offers two connection modes, antilock brakes and great overall performance. A high-traction control technology (KTRC: Kawasaki Traction Control) not only reduces slippage on slippery surfaces, offering a more pilots feedback that inspires confidence, but can be easily cut to the discretion of the pilot.
Heart Concours sport-touring package is unbelievable and the modern DOHC 1,352 cc inline-four from the legendary ZX ™ -14 wheel racing. Concours 14 engine delivers good power at low to medium range, followed by the whole class more quickly, which in turn green with envy is the most open-class sport bikes. A large part of his vast power delivery thanks to its variable valve timing (VVT) system, which automatically switches the cam profiles of more power at low revs and high speeds, without sacrificing the top. Advanced fuel injection, ram-air induction and decades of experience in the construction of world's most powerful motorcycle engines simply match a source of incredible strength, which makes the Concours 14 ABS power with the performance of sport-touring segment - just like the original Concours was 26 years ago.
The Competition 14 chassis is very well meet the challenge to control this wonderful engine. Monocoque structure provides a rigid mass along excellent handling characteristics and a high degree of information the pilot. Balancing the engine from above, the compact structure of the plot continues to narrow the bike where it is needed and allows optimum packaging of the vital systems of the bike. The drive shaft Tetra-Lever, which offers all the power to the rear wheel, using a four-link design to offset trends squat lift and minor axis systems when the throttle is opened and closed, which results in true sportbike handling. In addition, Tetra-Lever system is virtually maintenance free. There is no mystery, then, why the power train 14 Contest has gained worldwide critical acclaim for its smooth power delivery.
The amazing solid foundation has been expanded with a carefully sculpted saddle and very comfortable and all the comforts you would expect from a top-shelf sports-GT, including a pair of beautifully built, roomy and waterproof bags. Concours 14 ABS: A high speed passenger vessel with unquestionable supersport DNA. It has everything you need to go far - and have tons of fun doing it.

• The standard heated grips help comfort, even in difficult conditions
Kawasaki's Intelligent Proximity Activation • Easy start system (KIPASS)
• windshield is the memory function electrically adjustable and a variety of costumes for the pilots
1352 cc four-cylinder, DOHC, variable valve timing (VVT)
• Designed to provide a steady flow in a very wide range rpm, 14 competition has the power to spare
• The time variable valve engine improves flexibility and efficiency by altering the camshaft profiles to improve low-end and midrange without sacrificing high power quality
• Compact and slim design to minimize the weight of the engine for maximum performance and handling
• Chrome-plated composite aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, durable, and to quickly heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for durability under high loads
Gears double-balanced engine
• Already in perfect primary balance, the competition of four-cylinder dual-use secondary balancers virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for operator comfort
Ram Air Induction
• Ram air ducts provide a direct way cool, high pressure air to the airbox without the maximum efficiency and power
Digital electronic injection
• A digital computer feeds the engine exactly the amount of fuel needed for cleaner emissions and maximum fuel economy
