it will be Lithium Ion Powered.They will use the old batteries Boeing takes out of the 787 Dreamliner.
I'll keep My 08 until the nuclear powered Connie is released. Replace the fuel pill, and the KiPass batteries once every couple of years.
I am definately at the crossroads with my C14. I really like the Trophy, though being a first year model, I would prefer to wait at least a year. The K16GT is the pinnacle of sport touring machines, but I don't yet know that I want to spend that kind of money again. The FJR is now better, but still not the touring weapon the Trophy and K16 are in terms of comfort, weather protection, convenience. Add to that a new BMW RT is due out next year with a more powerful water cooled boxer, dynamic suspension, traditionally lighter weight, etc.
My right sided brain tells me to buy MC Cruise, and live with the C14 for another year, horde some cash, and see how the new RT, Trophy, and possibly a refreshed C14 look in a year, Honestly, if a new C14 scrapped these completely horrendous linked brakes, kipass, and offered a bigger fuel tank, along with a cruise option that worked beyond 80 mph (unlike FJR), it could be the best sport tourer out there dollar for dollar for me.
Until then, it is kind of a love/hate thing for me and my C14.
You should do US a favour...
Buy a BMW and go AWAY PLEASE
YOU will never be happy even with the newest and greatest BMW 1200
I'm SURE you will find many falts in that bike also...
But you need to buy one just to answer all those questions floating around in your utopian DREAM.
BMW BMW BMW IT'S THE ANSWER
And on the other popular segment, is there a super sport that has or can dethrone the S1000 RR ?
My goodness is that machine sexy!!!!
I would love to have a BMW if I knew I would get a good one, but none the less any maintenance and parts are still going to be steep. They are pretty much solely responsible for the whole sport touring "and" ADV segments that exist today, we all should thank BMW for that. And on the other popular segment, is there a super sport that has or can dethrone the S1000 RR ? My goodness is that machine sexy!!!!
Maybe something with more R's Z's and X's.... Like a RXZZ1000XRRRRRR?
