Since the Gen 2 C14's have been out BMW came out with the K1600 and Yamaha with the Gen 3 FJR. Both offer ESA and cruise control.
Kawi should be thinking of adding those if not for 2015 then at least 2016.
Yeah, but look at Honda....... nada!
My bet is on 2016, which gives the C14 an 8 year run.

What's "ESA"?
Based on the production run of the C10 before there were any significant changes, the C14 should be due for a revamp in 2028.

What is a Honda?Yeah technically Honda doesn't even have a '14 ST1300
Has anybody else seen all the Honda guys writing crying letters to all the motorcycle magazines asking them why the ST1300 isn't included in any of the sport-touring bike shoot-outs and comparisons?...lol.
The editors reply..."Uh...since Honda hasn't done anything with the ST1300 since 2005, we don't believe they have anything new to offer".
As far as a substantial change in the C14 platform is concerned...I like the comment somebody else left on here a while back...lol.

We've been guessing that they would do some improvements over the last several years but nothing has ever come of it....however, I am hopefully pessimistic.
Will Gen I owners be allowed to go right to Gen III, or will we have to own a Gen II for a while? Baby steps, ya know...
Sure hope not cuz I went directly to a Gen II. Wouldn't want to get arrested.Well then, you owe yourself a Gen I experience. We can trade bikes, and then both of us can legally move on to the III's when available. Sure don't want to be arrested either. tp
I mean Kaw updated the concours in just 2yrs after the launch in '08.
Now that BMW, yamaha, triumph have all come out with updated/new ST's, I'm guessing we'll see a new concours this fall
2020 would work for me. My 2008 should be about worn out by then. Hmmm, I've only got 58000 miles on it now so maybe not.
