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.
Kawasaki Concours 14 (ZG1400, bazı pazarlarda GTR1400 olarak da bilinir), 1986'dan beri üretimde olan uzun süredir devam eden Concours 1000'in (ZG1000) yerine 2008 yılında piyasaya sürüldü. ZX-14 motorunun ayrıştırılmış bir versiyonu etrafında inşa edilen motor, şaft tahriki, KTRC çekiş kontrolü ve elektronik süspansiyon sistemi gibi ileri teknolojiye sahipti ve bu da onu çağının en yetenekli sport-touring motosikletlerinden biri haline getirdi. Üretim süreci boyunca büyük ölçüde değişmeden kaldı ve tur pratikliği ile süper otomobil performansı isteyen sürücüler tarafından tercih edilen yüksek performanslı bir uzun mesafe turcu olarak ününü pekiştirdi.

Alıcıların Bilmesi Gerekenler
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.
Yıllara Göre Nesiller ve Özellikler
1352cc hat içi dört, ABS seçeneği, şaft tahrik, entegre bagaj, çekiş kontrolü ile ilk lansman sunuldu.
"GTR1400 sporcuları çoğunlukla canlı canlı yiyor."
Bu 1352cc hat içi dört, 3.000 rpm'den bir yük treni gibi hareket ediyor ve asla özür dilemiyor - Dolu bagajla Rocky Dağları'ndan iki kez geçtim ve yine de otoyol rampalarında spor bisikletleri utandıracak kadar homurdandım. Şaft tahriki, uzun turlarda gerçek bir nimettir, 30.000 km boyunca sıfır zincir bakımı, ancak yavaş hızlı U dönüşlerinde tork reaksiyonu gerçek bir ayarlama gerektirir. 302 kg ıslak, düşük hızlı park yeri manevraları gerçekten terli bir iştir ve dar bir kanyon köşesine sert bir şekilde bastığınızda ön uç belirsiz bir dokunuş hissedebilir. Entegre çantalar gerçekten su geçirmez ve kapasitiftir, ancak erken çekiş kontrol sistemi, çoğu deneyimli sürücünün onu kapatacak kadar kör ve müdahaleci.

Kullanılmış Alıcı İncelemesi
"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.
