Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-14 Motorcyle

Building on the continent-crossing comfort and genuine sportbike performance of its predecessor, the second-generation Concours™ 14 includes new touring features and updated technology to advance the state of the sport touring art.  The Concours 14 has earned rave-reviews from expert journalists and current owners who’ve experienced the otherworldly thrust and sublime composure of its Ninja® ZX™-14 based engine and chassis.
 
Already a showcase for the latest Kawasaki technology, the new Concours 14 ABS model adds a number of new systems designed to improve the riding experience.  KTRC, Kawasaki’s first traction control system, helps provide peace of mind when negotiating slippery surfaces.  K-ACT II selectable, sport-oriented coactive ABS complements the rider’s brake inputs with supplementary force enhancements for improved braking performance on a wide variety of riding surfaces. 
 

Both versions include a number of upgrades, bodywork refinements and detail changes which vastly improve rider comfort, and make long-distance journeys even easier than before.  A larger windscreen offers extra wind protection and new heat-dissipating bodywork provides better heat management. A number of additional new features, like heated handgrips, upgraded computer functions, a relocated glove box, and tank bag hooks offer added convenience and increase the Concours 14’s touring performance.
