The 2008 Kawasaki Concours 14 is based on the ZX-14 and its monocoque chassis. It is powered by a 1352 cc engine and will feature the 6-speed transmission of the new C14. The C14 utilizes an all-new Tetra-Lever Shaft drive featuring a four-link design, which is claimed to offer the same ride quality associated with a chain drive. The new Concours sports an entire host of high-end components, including choice state-of-the-art goodies that will make any technophile giddy.

Expect pricing to fall somewhere between the $13,500 FJR1300 and the $18,000 K1200GT.
