However, nstead of riding a high-strung racetrack missile, hey can enjoy these high-performance features on Kawasaki’s new Concours 14 sport touring motorcycles. They are the first representatives of an entirely new genre of high-performance motorcycle: the Transcontinental Supersport Tourer.Because it’s a Kawasaki, he Concours 14 is naturally designed to do much more than just take a rider from point A to point B. Thanks to its sporting heritage, he new Concours 14 is not only an awe-inspiring road burner, t can also carve up mountain roads like a true supersport bike. For those riders who cross state lines the way others cross town, his machine offers more excitement than anything else in its category.The Concours 14 may be a physically impressive machine, ut as soon as riders flip the side stand up, hey’ll be astonished at the bike’s lightweight feel. The confidence-enhancing ABS brake system (Concours™ 14 ABS) features radial-mount front calipers operated by a radial-pump master cylinder, or the superb control and powerful, eliable braking performance that continent-crossing sport riders expect. Belying its tourer-like appearance, he Concours 14’s phenomenally responsive handling characteristics make the other bikes in its category seem like transports by comparison. This provides the Concours 14 rider with a feeling of complete control for spirited, onfident journeys.In addition to an incredible level of sporting performance, he new Concours 14 has the functional touches of a Grand Touring machine. Features include KI-PASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System), he first electronic authorization system in its class, nd an accessory power outlet located near the cockpit for powering portable electronics, rip heaters and other accessories. There’s also an electrically adjustable windscreen, haft drive and detachable, ocking side cases, o the Concours 14 is always ready for a high-speed ride to the local hangout or that favorite spot... fifteen hundred miles away.The Concours 14 is much more than a sportbike with tacked-on touring features; it’s an integrated high-speed touring system. Wind protection for rider and passenger is based on a supersport-style design philosophy, erodynamically curving wind around the riders to reduce buffeting that occurs when wind curls around screens that simply "block" the wind. Additionally, aintenance chores on long-distance trips are minimized thanks to quiet and reliable shaft drive. Featuring a special four-link design, he Tetra-Lever shaft drive system significantly reduces driveline lash during sport riding and helps ensure smooth acceleration when exploiting the engine’s incredible power output. In fact, ower delivery to the rear wheel is so smooth and so direct that it gives the same natural ride quality as a chain.The Concours 14’s touring prowess doesn’t stop there. The included hard luggage features a slim, ntegrated design which mounts the cases closer to the machine’s centerline for excellent mass centralization. Sensors in the front and rear wheels monitor tire pressure and display this information on the instrument panel, iving riders peace of mind during two-up high-speed riding or when carving up a mountain road.With all the equipment needed for safe and exciting long-distance riding mated to a decidedly supersport core, he new Concours 14 amplifies all the best riding features that motorcycling has to offer. Motorcyclists carry a driver’s license, ut Concours 14 riders should bring their passports, oo.Key Features:Most powerful production sport tourerNext generation monocoque aluminum frameComfortable long distance riding positionLow-maintenance shaft drive1,352 cc Four-Cylinder, OHC Engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT)Tuned to provide smooth power across a wide rev rangeVariable valve timing improves the engine’s flexibility and efficiency by altering the camshaft profiles to suit different rpm rangesCarefully planned engine design keeps it compact and narrowChrome composite plated aluminum cylinder bores are lightweight, urable, nd quickly carry heat away from the combustion chamber and piston for supreme durability under high loadsGear-Driven Dual Engine BalancersAlready in perfect primary balance, ual secondary balancers virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and enhanced rider comfortRam Air InductionRam Air ducts produce a straighter path to the airbox for maximum intake efficiencyThis system takes cooler, igh-pressure air, uides it through the air filter and into the engine for maximum power outputDigital Fuel InjectionThrottle bodies are fitted with sub-throttle valves that are controlled by the ECU to provide smooth, recise response similar to constant velocity carburetors32-bit electronic control unit works with dual throttle valve system to further enhance throttle response and controlA digital computer feeds the engine exactly the amount of fuel it needs for cleaner emissions and maximum fuel economyDigital IgnitionDigital Timing Advance enhances low-and mid-range powerFour individual spark plug-mounted ignition coils fire each spark plug independently to achieve the optimum timing for that cylinder at that instantECU includes an idle speed control system for easier starting and warm-upRadial Pump Clutch Master CylinderHydraulic clutch features a radial-pump clutch master cylinder for smooth and precise clutch engagementMonocoque Aluminum FrameThe frame is a hollow aluminum box that arches over the engine from the steering head to the swing arm pivot; it is narrow, trong, igid and very lightEngine is rigidly mounted to increase the monocoque’s torsional rigidity. Plus using the engine as a stressed frame member decreases the frame’s weight by approximately 4 poundsEngine positioned forward in the frame, heelbase and front / rear weight balance were carefully designed to achieve high-speed stability and responsive handlingMassive steering head casting contributes to frame rigidityRadial Mounted Petal Front Disc BrakesRadial mounted four-piston front brake calipers. Instead of mounting the calipers with threaded tabs cast near the top of the caliper, he radial design utilizes integrated mounting points at both the top and bottom of the caliper, ith the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper instead of the side / front. This makes the caliper more rigid, hich improves brake feel over a wider range of operationA separate brake pad is used for each piston. One large pad can deform with the heat generated by hard braking, esulting in a loss of brake feel at the lever. Individual pads provide increased cooling efficiency and can absorb more heat without deforming so they maintain consistent brake feel under extreme conditionsPetal design front and rear brake rotors provide enhanced cooling and better warp resistanceRadial-pump front brake master cylinder improves brake performance and lever feelTetra-Lever Shaft DriveUnique 4-link design significantly reduces driveline lash during sport riding and provides smooth acceleration when exploiting the engine’s incredible power outputVirtually maintenance free, he Tetra Lever system dramatically reduces routine maintenance requirementsAntilock Brake System (Concours 14 ABS)ABS brakes boost safety and rider confidence in low-traction conditions and may enhance evasive maneuvering in an emergencyBodywork Optimized for Sport TouringFairing design promotes smooth airflow around the rider and passenger with minimal buffetingIntegrated, ocking hard luggage offers plenty of storage, ithout disrupting the Concours 14’s style or performanceElectrically adjustable vented windscreenLarge, omfortable seat offers long-distance comfort for both rider and passengerGlove box mounted on the fuel tank coverFull InstrumentationEasy to read speedometer and tachometerMulti-function LCD digital display includes an odometer, wo trip meters, uel gauge, ear position indicator and a clockA CAN (Controller Area Network) interface between the gauges uses fewer wires while allowing a greater volume of information, uch as estimated fuel mileage, o be exchangedKawasaki Electronic Authorization system (KI-PASS)Tire pressure sensors
