This could be interesting, but keep in mind what I often see labeled as "Sport tourer" isn't really a sport tourer. It is just a sport bike (often with chain drive) that is more upright that they slap on some luggage and a semi-fixed windscreen. I am skeptical it will be a REAL sport tourer, like the Concours- with large alternator, shaft drive, full instrumentation, electric windscreen, heated grips, risable handbars, large fairings, extra detail to wind, heat, and vibration control, etc.
If the pictures I’ve seen are indeed of the new ST, you’re gonna hate it.
If it doesn't have cup holders, I'm not interested.

The cats out of the bag ....its a H2SX which is basically a Z1000SX type bike witha Supercharger making a stated 200 bhp. Plus a a TFT dash,, sat nav functionality, electric screen, heated grips, media connectivity and keyless ignition.
Z1000 SX and Versys will remain. GTR will go as it doesn't meet Euro 4 regulations
The H2SX will cost 20K base and approx 23K fully loaded
It looks nice and seems to have chain drive
GTR will go as it doesn't meet Euro 4 regulations
How can the ZZR14 be Euro 4 and the GTR 14 not?
The Balanced Supercharged engine shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2015 was similar to the H2’s 1000cc four-cylinder but featured a clever new supercharger design. It used variable intake vanes to alter the airflow into the supercharger, with the intention of increasing low-end torque and efficiency rather than going for out-and-out power like the H2.
Wasn't the ZZR14upgradedchanged in 2012 in displacement AND throttle by wire, etc. ?
They bored it out and gave it 50 extra HP.
I see nothing that mentions throttle-by-wire.
...Most notably added to the Kawasaki ZX-14R is the addition traction control, and ride-by-wire throttle control system....
