Kawasaki 1400 GTR 2026: ₹13 Lakh Sport-Touring Beast with 1352cc Power, 153mph Fury
Imagine conquering Chennai’s coastal highways, your bike’s 1352cc inline-four roaring like a jet past the dosa stall, blending speed and comfort for epic rides. The **Kawasaki 1400 GTR 2026**, Kawasaki’s flagship sport-tourer (aka Concours 14), is set for a 2026 relaunch with a starting ₹13 lakh ex-showroom price in India. With 101 lb-ft torque, advanced suspension, and touring perks, it’s a hit for Mumbai’s long-haul adventurers. I caught this online, and bhai, it’s like Kawasaki’s scripted a desi touring thriller! Here’s why the GTR rules India’s roads.
Design That’s Aerodynamic and Luxe
The GTR’s sleek sport-touring body features a full fairing, windscreen, and saddlebags for wind protection on Pune’s expressways. Its 43mm inverted front forks (4.4-inch travel, preload and rebound adjustable) and rear monoshock (5.4-inch travel) ensure plush handling. The 59.8-inch wheelbase and 32.1-inch seat height suit Kolkata’s riders, with 120/70-17 front and 190/50-17 rear tires gripping like glue. My mate in Delhi says, “It’s a wind-cheater—folks at the chaat stall think it’s a superbike!” At 286kg with 130mm ground clearance, it’s stable yet agile.
Engine That Thrusts Forward
A 1352cc liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve inline-four engine delivers 155hp at 9,500 rpm and 101 lb-ft torque at 6,200 rpm, hitting 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds and a 153mph top speed. The 6-speed transmission with shaft final drive ensures smooth shifts for Bangalore’s highways. With 35-40 mpg mileage (about 15-17kmpl), it saves ₹8,000-10,000 yearly on fuel versus 10kmpl tourers at ₹100 per litre. Hyderabad’s riders love the quick acceleration, though city revs guzzle more.
Features That Tour Smart
Four-piston front calipers on 310mm discs and twin-piston rear on 270mm disc with ABS keep stops confident on Jaipur’s twists. Ride modes, traction control, and cruise control (expected in 2026) add versatility. The digital console shows speed and fuel, with optional hard saddlebags for Chennai’s trips. Mumbai’s cruisers dig the adjustable ergonomics, but some miss a quick-shifter. It’s a tech-savvy tourer for all-weather hauls.
Built for India’s Journeys
With 100+ Kawasaki centers, maintenance is ₹3,000-5,000 yearly. On-road prices hit ₹14-16 lakh, with EMIs from ₹25,000 per month, ₹1.5 lakh down payment. Book at kawasaki-india.com or dealers by launch. Blue and Grey’s the vibe!
