KEY FEATURES

1,352cc in-line Four with Variable Valve Timing

1,352cc in-line Four with Variable Valve Timing

Power comes from a ZZR1400-based engine tuned for more low and mid-range torque. This liquid-cooled, 16-valve, In-Line Four features variable valve timing for high torque output at low and medium rpm.

Colour-matched 35-litre panniers

Colour-matched 35-litre panniers

The large-volume panniers are integrally designed to complement the GTR’s overall styling package. The cases are easily detachable, water-resistant and easily hold a full-face helmet. Mounted as close as possible to the bike’s centreline and the bike’s centre of gravity, their lightweight construction was designed to minimise their influence on the bike’s centre of mass.

Heated Grips

Heated Grips

Stepless adjustable heated grips are fitted standard. The rotary switch is located close to the rider for easy access with gloved hands.

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode

Fuel Economy Assistance Mode can be turned on and off by the rider. Turning on this mode on switches the ECU to a leaner fuel map that prioritises fuel economy over driveability. (Ignition timing and fuel injection are set for maximum fuel efficiency.) When on, a icon appears on the LCD screen. The rider must ride in a gentle manner: less than 6,000 rpm, less than 30% throttle, under 100 mph (where permitted)

Taller and wider electrically adjustable wind screen

Taller and wider electrically adjustable wind screen

The electrically adjustable windscreen is now 70 mm taller and is also wider at the top. Its increased height allows air passing over the top of the screen to flow smoothly around the rider’s helmet and the wider top portion of the screen results in less wind striking the rider’s shoulders and upper arms.

Instruments

Instruments

The GTR's multi-function display now includes an outside air temperature monitor. Other new instrument functions include the K-ACT mode indicator, Economical Riding Indicator, and Fuel Economy Assistance Mode icon. The mode-Select button on the front of the left grip (where the passing button used to be) increases convenience by allowing the rider to change LCD modes without having to take their hand off the handlebar.

Tetra-lever shaft drive

Tetra-lever shaft drive

To ensure that the GTR’s massive torque is transmitted to the tarmac as efficiently as possible, a highly rigid, dual-sided, 4-link swingarm is used. Called the Tetra-Lever, it is designed to offset the lifting or squatting tendency of shaft drives when the throttle is opened and closed.
