Shootout: BMW K1300GT versus Kawasaki Concours 14

These big luxury tourers will take you on long-distance ride like no other - amazingly, these machines will also burn up any road the are on, but how do they compare to each other. If you are looking to buy one, these are the 2009 models - so you may be able to get a good deal as the 2010 models hit the showrooms at your dealer. Also, we do know that the Concours 14 has been updated for 2010 with some fancy and useful features. But, the comparison should at least give you an idea of how these machines compare when on the road!

Kawasaki Releases Video Demonstrating Their New KTRC Traction Control

I found this on a blog, but it is a good video. The 2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 or GTR1400 has been given traction control for the first time; they call it KTRC, but it is similar to other manufacturer's implementation. The Concours 14 is the only Kawasaki to have this feature currently, but it will probably end up on numerous other Kawasaki models soon...

2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 to get Traction Control!

The Concours has won several awards since its introduction in 2007 (as a 2008 model), and has many happy owners. However, Kawasaki is not above making something good even better - and answering the requests of owners. The 2010 model will have traction control for that huge ZX-14 sourced mill, which should make riding it even more fun!
