Kawasaki GTR 1400 and Concours 14

[Breeze07]

Your motorcycle was manufactured here.

A lot of black Concours14s are forming a line.

It might be your motorcycle.

Will you also visit the Kawasaki motorcycle plant?　



This is a place full of memories.　　　　　　　　　　　　　(Kobe Port Tower)


It is two more months till “The 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007”.
What kind of new motorcycles are exhibited this time?
I am looking forward to seeing the prototype motorcycle.

Cheers for that breeze, most interesting indeed, keep it up.

It explains that if the 1400GTR is equipped with “Comfort Seat", the height of the seat can be lowered by about 30 millimeters.

Comfort Seat //Japanese//: http://www.ms-sailing.com/news/datai...id=00000000053

The seat of the GTR is high if it thinks about the average height of the adult in Japan.
It is said that a lot of Japanese riders who straddled the GTR were anxious to fall down on the ground.

I think that many of Japanese GTR’s riders hoped to equip the GTR with “Comfort Seat” by the standard.
Japanese riders need “Comfort Seat" more than “Interior Bags".

I am looking forward to seeing the new 1400GTR (Japanese model) in Makuhari Messe.

Pictures are fantastic. What an eye opener...Do they ever smile or are they just bored?

[buffgunner]

Great pictures!!! Thanks Breeze.

[tweaked_eye]

GREAT, GREAT pix Breeze....ARIGATO!

[the mask]

Quality pictures but did you notice the mistake ? or was it ? We all appreciate the quality,design and time put into our bikes and given the amount of safety warning labels our manufacturers put on these machines they obviously care about customer safety. But what about the workers who build our quality machines ? The poor guy in the last photo only has a cycle helmet on. Obviously normally rides a yamaha Ha,Ha.

[tweaked_eye]

not sure how much head protection you need to run a dyno...but, it seems "OSHA" is alive and well in Japan. :)

“Bright” announced sales of the ER-6n, Z1000 and the Versys in addition to the 1400GTR.

Bright New Release //Japanese//: http://www.bright.ne.jp/news_release-08_new_model.html

Why did “Bright” announce the new motorcycles after time of the sale?　

Does not “Bright” put the ZZR1400 on the market in September?
Though I’m looking forward to seeing a red ZZR1400 (2008)･･････････.

Blue of the Versys is also very beautiful.
If the Versys becomes 1000cc･･････････.

I see you guys are hoping to see a red ZX14, bought one last year, looks stunning, traded it in on the GTR, if I can compare the 2, the GTR is a much more stable bike in the corners than the ZX.

[Breeze07]

There might be “K-Wear” that suits the 1400GTR.

Neither K nor S have announced the exhibition models of the Motor Show yet.

I am looking forward to seeing the exhibition models in Makuhari Messe.

Just under 4,000 as of Friday. You should come over here someday and do some touring.

[stryder]

I'd love to ship my bike to the States for some serious cruising. Any links as to the best way to do it?

[ReaperWales]

Dont think water wings will work, we might run out of fuel before we run out of ocean.

There are firms that can arrange shipping takes 3-4 weeks and costs about £1000 I believe, read about it in bike magazine last year.
