Same engine, tuned down to 155 horsepower, and about 100 lbs more weight (fairings, bags, etc.)
The ZZR1400 is called the ZX-14 in the US. The 1400GTR is sold here as the Concours 14. There is no naked bike with that engine, which is what Kawasaki would have to release to directly compete with the B-King. Of course, Suzuki doesn't have a dedicated sport-touring model either, so perhaps neither company will answer the other. People looking for a monster naked will buy the B-King, those wanting a monster sport-touring bike will buy the Concours 14, and those wanting a monster supersport will have a choice between the ZX-14 and the 'Busa.
