Kawasaki Concours 14
The Kawasaki Concours 14 has a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited), produces 155 hp and weighs 319 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
O Kawasaki Concours 14 (ZG1400, também conhecido como GTR1400 em alguns mercados) foi introduzido em 2008 como substituto do antigo Concours 1000 (ZG1000), que estava em produção desde 1986. Construída em torno de uma versão desafinada do motor ZX-14, ela apresentava tecnologia avançada, incluindo acionamento por eixo, controle de tração KTRC e sistema eletrônico de suspensão, tornando-a uma das motocicletas esportivas de turismo mais capazes de sua época. Ele permaneceu praticamente inalterado durante sua produção, consolidando sua reputação como um turista de longa distância de alto desempenho, preferido por pilotos que queriam desempenho de supercarro com praticidade de turismo.

O que os compradores devem saber
Shaft Drive Advantage
The Concours 14 uses a shaft drive system, eliminating chain maintenance entirely. This makes it significantly more practical and cost-effective for high-mileage touring riders.
Heat Management Issues
A well-known complaint is excessive engine heat radiating onto the rider's legs, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Aftermarket heat shields and exhaust wraps are popular fixes among owners.
Strong Resale Value
The Concours 14 holds its value well due to its reputation as a versatile sport-tourer with a powerful 1352cc engine. Used examples with moderate miles remain in high demand among experienced riders.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Lançamento inicial com quatro cilindros em linha de 1352 cc, opção ABS, acionamento por eixo, bagagem integrada e introdução do controle de tração.
"O GTR1400 come turistas esportivos vivos, principalmente."
Aquele quatro em linha de 1352 cc puxa como um trem de carga a 3.000 rpm e nunca pede desculpas — eu atravessei as Montanhas Rochosas com a bagagem cheia e ainda tive problemas suficientes para envergonhar motos esportivas nas rampas de acesso às rodovias. O acionamento por eixo é uma verdadeira bênção em viagens longas, sem manutenção da corrente em 30.000 km, embora a reação de torque em curvas de marcha em baixa velocidade exija ajustes reais. Com 302 kg de piso molhado, as manobras de estacionamento de baixa velocidade são realmente trabalhosas, e a frente pode parecer um pouco vaga quando você entra com força em uma curva estreita do cânion. Os cestos integrados são genuinamente impermeáveis e espaçosos, mas o sistema de controle de tração inicial é contundente e intrusivo o suficiente para que os pilotos mais experientes simplesmente o desliguem.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The ultimate budget sport-tourer if heat and heft don't scare you."
$5,500-$9,500 usedThe Concours 14 is one of the most underrated sport-tourers ever built, and the used market prices reflect that unfairly. You're getting a 1400cc inline-four that'll shame sportbikes off the line while hauling you and a passenger across three states without complaint. The shaft drive eliminates chain maintenance, the panniers are genuinely usable, and that engine is basically bulletproof if the previous owner wasn't an idiot about oil changes. That said, go in with eyes open. The electronics on early models (2008-2011) are primitive by today's standards — no traction control, basic ABS. Heat soak at stoplights in summer is legitimately miserable; your inner thighs will know about it. The suspension is set up for loaded touring, so solo riding feels wallowy until you dial in the preload. Check the throttle bodies for sync issues and inspect the shaft drive output seal — common weep point on higher-mileage examples. Buy a clean 2012-onwards example under 30k miles and you've got a legitimate bargain. These things routinely run 80,000 miles with basic care.
