Did you want him to place his source somewhere?
Or did you mean cite?
I would be SHOCKED if the next version didn't include cruise because with throttle-by-wire, it is essentially a zero cost addition. Remotely locking bags would be kinda neat, but wouldn't sway me one way or another. If they did that, add in remote locking for the gas cap! More adjustability is always nice. I expect it will have projector LED headlights, and LED turn/marker/tail lights too, it is just the new norm.
My wish list includes the ability to see more on the computer display at once (and with more customizing options), to have TPS that acts faster and has no internal battery to replace, integrated alarm system would be very nice, especially if it had a remote tamper alert. Not sure how much I care about electronically adjustable suspension, but it would be nice to have. Would love some type of auto-leveling headlight for cornering. If MPG doesn't increase, it really needs at least another 1/2 gal fuel capacity. Factory, integrated tip-over protection bars/pads would be very nice.
One of those things that would make me very unhappy would be if they removed the large, dual analog dials. If they wanted to minic analog on a huge fast digital screen, that would be OK.... but I don't think that will arrive (I would guess a somewhat larger and color display).

Agreed....although the Super Tenere I owned had a great instrument panel which was informative and very easy to read in all light conditions, [photo]
Electronically adjustable suspension would be a great option. I've never had it but almost all that have it like it or pretend to. Like I said, a great OPTION along with the remote locking bags. Not stock but they could call it the Option package filled with a mix of stuff including a loud horn.
De-tune of the day...
As I have said many times, it is not de-tuned. In no way, shape or fashion. That implies it was...
(Max repeating himself because... no idea... he has a keyboard...)
(more of the same)
(and still more of the same)
...highest peak horsepower or fastest off a line just like the best performance of musical piece isn't just the loudest or the fastest rendition.

You're a funny guy Martin.
I do mean to put it humorously, but I seriously wonder if Max drove the ZX-14.
It is certainly OK to ask, although I don't think it is relevant. No, I haven't. But I don't need to...
Saying the ZX-14 has lots of power- power here, power there, although very true, doesn't change my stance.
The GTR basically used the proven ZZR 1400 engine which featured modifications to provide a more usable power for a Sports Touring bike, and at its launch the U.K motorcycle press described the much awaited GTR as having a de-tuned ZZR engine
We are only splitting hairs and it really isn't important as after all the GTR or Connie is a superb bike.
...... when there are different versions of an engine it's customary to speak of detuned versions for the less powerful variants. In that line, the C14's engine is precisely that.
And I'm sorry to say that I skipped the rest of your post.No you aren't. ..I think you enjoyed saying that.
Don't worry. For those of us that have been here for a while, we never expected you do such thing.
