Kawasaki GTR1400 (2007 - present)

Our Review

Reviewed: 25 January 2010 by Visordown
In this molly-coddled, nappy-wearing world Kawasaki stick out like a sore thumb.

This is a big, comfortable, smooth, fast bike. It has a number of nice features not available on other bikes in this price range. Has been totally reliable in 5000 miles, and there is no indication this will Continue reading...

Im not sure how the owner of an FJR can possible write a review on the GTR (see first review above) if you do actually own a GTR, then I appologise, but if not, go and write a review on your own bike.

A pleasurable mile muncher,quiet,quick,precise handling awesome brakes i love mine,bought new in march,second one and im on 6k now,so i have done around 20 k on type.I fitted a kawasaki gel seat but prefer the standard one,i,m a tad short on the inside leg so welcomed the lower seat but dont by a gel seat for comfort as the the stock one is more comfy.What would i change? rear foot pegs not comfy for pillion,mich pilot road 2 tyres make the bike handle much better and thats about it,i dont know where this bike tops out but i have been past 160mph a couple of times and ran out of road before finding the end of the power range and thats 2 up with 30 k of luggage oohh those german autobands,now i,m into pushing the bike i can cause the super bike boys to really sweat in the bends and along the windy A and B roads,theyre not liking it,hehe,i,ve ridden everything in its class and for sure its the best of the best outthere.,my rating 4.5 out of 5
