Power and Torque:

Weighing in at 300 kgs (661 lbs) this makes the Kawasaki GTR 1400 Concours 14 in the same weight category as the 2024 Honda CRF 1100 L Africa Twin Adventure Sports or the 2024 Honda VT 750 C Shadow Aero, give or take 50kg.

Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX- GX+ - [2024] image

The 2009 Kawasaki GTR 1400 shares the same bhp with the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX- GX+ - [2024]

In terms of power the 1352cc 16 valve V4 4 cylinder engine produces 155 bhp (115 kW) @ 8800 rpm similar to the 2024 Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX- GX+ [152 bhp (113 kW) @ 11000 rpm] or the 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP [165.8 bhp (123 kW) @ 11500 rpm].

The DOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 102.0 lb-ft (138.2 Nm) @ 6200 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2024 Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade SP [82.5 lb-ft (111.9 Nm) @ 12500 rpm] and the 2024 Honda CBR 1000 RR-R Fireblade [82.5 lb-ft (111.9 Nm) @ 12000 rpm].

Power to Weight:

The 1989 Suzuki GSX-R 750 RR Limited Edition has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the 2009 Kawasaki GTR 1400 Concours 14.

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 2010 Buell-EBR XB12XT Ulysses [363.9 lb-ft per ton] and the 2008 Buell-EBR XB12XT Ulysses [363.9 lb-ft per ton].
