Kawasaki Shelves Concours 14P Motorcycle

I agree that the "fix" certainly sounds easy.  When I read the notice, it doesn't sound like they are dropping the Concours police model forever, just until the end of the year.  So there might be something else still in the works.

Smoke and mirrors, insider talk has it Mama Kaw will be introducing the C15P,----in Neutron Silverdammit   There is even rumor that the bike will come equiped with ZX TBs, doughnut dispenser, and training wheels

I heard it as an inline-6 C17 to one up the K16.

This makes little sense as they are giving up future parts sales. Must be more to it.

Oh, well, I really did like the comment by jimmymac: "I'm cool with it, because now my bike's faster than theirs."

I'm cool with it, because now my bike's faster than theirs.

That's what I was thinking!

I'm kinda missing sumpin here, hep me out.

1) Mama K make a "P" model. I'll assume it has a few heavy duty features.
2) Local LEO department buys a dozen, has them shipped to a "converter" to have lights and doo-dads (technical term) added.
3) Fuse blows. May be due to installing a coffee machine and doughnut fryer at aforementioned "converter". Unless in Boulder County, then it's a bagel toaster and Latte frother. In either case, not "K" approved modifications.
4) Kawasaki gets stuck with the recall bill.

Yes, a solution should be simple. Maybe Mama K doesn't want the hassle? Pulls the "P" model from the lineup... for now.

Kawasaki doesn't make a "P" model. They make the standard civilian Concours, and the third party companies convert the civilian bikes to a police bike by modifying it. The modification to a police bike has nothing to do with Kawasaki.

Yes it has everything to do with Kawasaki. They have it available as a bike PDs can order. Yes another company performs the work, but it is Kawasaki that sells it.

Maybe Momma Kawi didn't want the motor LEOs  catching up to us and stopping our fun.

No need for a C15 or C17...we just need a C14I, is for Interceptor which is Supercharged....just like Mad Max.

I'd buy one of those in Black!!! And if it only came in Silverdamnit, I'd buy that too.
