KAWASAKI Concours 14 ABS Ride quality, in terms of bumps-to-the-bum (BTTB) is superb. The bike is weighty, and feels so at low speeds, but like the old XJ Jags of the Seventies, sheer mass irons out the road, resulting in a magic carpet ride. Rear shocks arenā€™t great and an upgrade is called for, most owners going for Hagons, Nitron or a re-build. consider the FJR could take off from rest in 5th gear there is probably an argument for only having 4 gears. Tank size, here the FJR shits all over the GTR, a standard 450 + km range is pretty good. The ST has 27 litres, the FJR 25 litres - why only 22 litres Kawasaki? 0:00 / 2:34 Kawasaki GTR1400 v Yamaha FJR1300 and BMW K1200GT MCN - Motorcyclenews.com 324K subscribers Subscribe 44 Share Save 158K views 16 years ago Kawasaki's GTR1400 has impressed in The FJR will seem b***** and heavier than the VFR because it is but it will more than hold its own on a twisty course. As far as performance, the FJR will eat a VFR for lunch in performance and power because the FJR has 145 hp and 90 ft-lb of electric motor type torque on tap at the slight twist of the throttle. The Honda and the Yamaha carve better up to 80 mph or so, but BMW owns the triple digits. The engine isn't as strong or as lively as we'd like below 6000 rpm, but above that it will flat dust the The Concours is a little bigger than the FJR. The instruments on the FJR are alot easier to read than the Concours, but the mirrors are give alot more visibility than the FJR. I've had Ivan flash both of the bikes, and the Concours will walk off from the FJR. Maintenance is easier on the FJR. Kawasaki's profilation of this bike The Kawasaki ConcoursĀ® 14 has rewritten the rules for modern sport tourers, blending strong yet refined sportbike performance with touring-class technology and comfort to make transcontinental trips a true delight. Vergelijkingstest BMW K1300GT ā€“ Kawasaki 1400GTR ā€“ Yamaha FJR1300. Ook in de wereld van het relaxte toeren heb je baas boven baas. Waar het op comfort en luxe aankomt zetten de vlaggenschepen BMW K1300GT, Yamaha FJR1300A en Kawasaki 1400GTR wel zoā€™n beetje de toon. Van die laatste werd de toch al niet karige standaarduitrusting voor 2010 Sh*t I Couldn't Say - Yamaha FJR1300. For 2016, Yamaha updated the FJR1300 after a long and successful run. The FJR is probably at its pinnacle in terms of proficiency. That very ease of handling any type of street-riding situation, though, can also make the FJR seem mind-numbingly boring at times ā€” a terrible trait in the highly emotional 6lQ4zNX.
