Rider Profile

Best ForSuits an experienced rider comfortable managing a heavy, powerful shaft-drive machine at speed.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed, long-distance touring with strong performance in reserve for overtakes and sweeping roads.
Rider FitAt over 300kg with a tall-ish seat, it demands reasonable strength and confidence at low speed and when parking or maneuvering.
CharacterA refined, shaft-driven sport tourer that blends muscular in-line four performance with weather protection and luggage capacity.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for new riders, off-road use, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city streets.

2009 Kawasaki 1400 GTR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Kawasaki 1400 GTR, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
