The Kawasaki Concours, or GTZ in Europe (ZG1000 and 1400).In 1986 Kawasaki built a sport touring bike around the then-new Ninja 1000. The big liquid cooled dohc inline four made for a heavy sports bike, but was a perfect fit for a sport touring rig such as the Concour. The bike was so good that it went virtually unchagned for over two decades. Concours competed closesly with Honda's ST1100, which also went on to live an unnaturally long life.
After over 20 years of production, the first generation Concours was replaced by the second generation in 2007. The new Concours 14 uses the fresh 1400cc inline four from the ZX-14 hyperbike.
