Overview The 2015 ZG1400EFF / Concours 14 ABS is a sport-touring motorcycle: combines high power, long-distance comfort, and lots of tech/features. Derived from Kawasaki?s ZX-14R platform, sharing its 1352 cc inline-4 engine (though tuned more for torque and usable power across a tourist-friendly RPM range). Key Features & 2015 Updates Here are the upgrades and refinements introduced for 2015 compared to previous years: New first gear ratio ? makes starting from stop and low-speed maneuvering easier. Steering stem seal ? redesigned to reduce friction and make steering lighter, especially at low speeds. Stiffer rear suspension initial settings ? better handling when loaded with passenger or baggage. New seat ? sculpted, narrower at front to help shorter riders reach the ground; rear portion is flatter/longer for passenger comfort; double-stitching and anti-slip material. Electric windshield with adjustable vent ? new vent in windscreen (three positions) to reduce buffeting, etc. Exhaust heat shield improvements ? to reduce rider and passenger discomfort when stopped or low speed. Revised ABS (K-ACT) ? linked braking system refinements: reduced front-linked effect when using rear brake (for better low-speed, U-turn feel), dual modes (Standard vs. High Combined) for different riding conditions.
