2014 Kawasaki 1400GTR Grand Tourer Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 Kawasaki 1400GTR Grand Tourer sport touring motorcycle, Kawasaki relies on a 1352 cc (82.5 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 152.9 HP (111.6 kW) at 8,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 136 Nm (100.3 lb-ft) at 6,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 113.1 HP per liter and a 2,600 rpm working window between peak torque (6,200 rpm) and peak power (8,800 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the 1400GTR Grand Tourer measures 315 kg (694 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.49 HP/kg (2.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
