2011 Kawasaki Concours 14





Speed and stability are the calling cards of the 2011 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS, but there is much more to this cousin of the Ninja ZX-14 hyperbike than that.

Extremely comfortable over the long, fast haul, the Concours 14 ABS features dual-mode K-ACT linked anti-lock braking system, as well as Kawasaki's KTRC traction control (which can be switched off, if desired).

Even with a claimed curb weight of 688 pounds, the Concours 14 ABS is a sporting machine, as long as the corners don't get too tight-in high- speed sweepers, it's magic.
