2015 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS Used

2015 Kawasaki Concours® 14 ABSThe Endless Pursuit

If you’re looking for a sport-tourer that has the power of a supersport motorcycle and a comfortable touring package, he 2015 Kawasaki Concours14 ABS motorcycle is the ultimate option. Based largely on the Ninja® ZX™-14R and equipped with an adjustable windshield with a new vent, s well as a redesigned seat, he Concours14 brings the thrill of a supersport to the promise of the open road. And of course rider support functions such as the recalibrated K-ACT ABS, TRC traction control, uel economy assistance mode, nd the KIPASS ignition security system make this bike one of the most sophisticated supersport-tourers on the market.

Based on the extremely powerful Ninja ZX-14R, he 1352cc in-line four-cylinder engine produces smooth power delivery throughout the extremely wide rev range. The variable valve timing improves the flexibility and efficiency of the engine by altering the intake camshaft profile to boost low-end and mid-range power. The compact and narrow engine design minimizes weight for massive performance making the Concours14 an impressive supersport-tourer.

Also based on the ZX-14R, he monocoque frame of the Concours14 is light and rigid. Hollow aluminum box sections arch over the engine from the steering head to the swingarm pivot, nd the engine acts as a stressed frame member to increase the frame’s torsional rigidity.

Control is everything, specially in wet weather, hich is why the KTRC (or Kawasaki Traction Control) system is so valuable. The KTRC system reduces engine output when wheel-spin is detected, elping the rear tire to regain grip in a way that feels natural and smooth. Advanced, hree-way control (airflow, gnition timing, uel delivery) gives KTRC smooth operation and the ability to operate on long stretches of rough roads.

Sudden downshifts can be smoothed out as all Concours14 models are equipped with a slipper clutch for smooth, onfident shifting. During sudden deceleration, he racinginspired slipper function allows some clutch slippage to help prevent engine lock-up, talling and rear-wheel hop.

Highly rigid 43mm inverted forks add to the Concours14’s superb handling and feel. And if the situation calls for a sudden stop, he revised and recalibrated Kawasaki Coactive-braking Technology (K-ACT) ABS system is smaller and more precise, ith revised settings for improved performance. Two selectable modes provide superb sport control and inspire rider confidence.

The redesigned seat is narrower and flatter for improved rider and passenger comfort. An available accessory touring seat features extra padding and is made from an industry-first heat-resistant material.
