Available in Candy Neptune Blue or Metallic Magnesium Gray, the all new 2010 1400GTR ABS is available now from your local Kawasaki Dealership for $24,999 + ORC.
Building on the continent-crossing performance of its predecessor, the 2010 1400GTR ABS incorporates new touring features and the latest rider support technology. Delivering both awesome supersport performance and comfortable long-distance touring potential, the GTR stands apart from its rivals.
Already a showcase for the latest Kawasaki technology, the new 1400GTR ABS adds a number of new systems designed to offer rider assistance. KTRC, (Kawasaki’s first traction control system), gives riders the piece of mind to negotiate slippery surfaces with confidence. K-ACT (Kawasaki Advanced Coactive-braking Technology) ABS complements rider active brake control with supplementary brake force enhancement for confident, highly effective braking in all situations. The Economical Riding Indicator and Fuel Economy Assistance Mode offer long-distance riders support in maximising their fuel efficiency.
Introduced upon the models 2008 debut, the 2010 model continues to implement the use of KIPASS (Kawasaki’s Intelligent Proximity Activation Start System). KIPASS is a master key system that allows remote activation of the bike’s main switch and steering lock. This was the first application of an electronic authorisation system on a touring machine, greatly enhancing rider convenience.
To warn riders of any tyre pressure irregularities, the 1400GTR ABS has tyre pressure sensors fitted as standard equipment while the electrically adjustable windscreen is now 70 mm taller and wider at the top. Using the button on the left grip allows stepless adjustability of the screen, as on the previous model. There are also four preset positions from which the rider can choose. Stepless adjustable grip warmers are also fitted standard. The switch is located close to the rider for easy access.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was also used to redesign the side and centre cowlings. The redesigned fairing outlets and inner guide surfaces facilitate heat dissipation, allowing hot air to escape more quickly. The sides are also wider, further reducing the amount of hot air hitting the rider.
Like all Kawasaki motorcycles, the all new 1400GTR ABS really must be seen to be truly appreciated. See what the fuss is about and head into your nearest Kawasaki dealership today and take a seat upon Kawasaki’s ultimate and award winning sports touring motorcycle, the 2010 1400GTR ABS.
