Could be my next bike, I like the way it looks, at the very least. Shaft drive? It looks like it from the pics, but it is not mentioned. Some nice features, I could do without the stereo, perhaps in favor of cruise control. I am fine with MP3 music from the GPS into the Sena SMH-10 bluetooth system. I may need to look around for a test ride.
and it can all be yours for 20 grand
i guess that's why![]()
Why Kawasaki didn't equip the C-14 like this I'll never know. With a bike that is as computerized as today's cars and you call it a "Touring" machine but you don't equip it with something as simple as "Cruise Control"?...................................Really?![]()
6.9 gal tank, cruise control, and heated seat. If only the Connie came standard with these.
Yup......nail on the head.I bet team green will put cruise on soon, more alternator output makes sense too.

Too little to late. Since they knew they were producing the biggest baddest Sport-Touring machine on the market Kawasaki should have had some "Luxury" items on the very first model. Now it's all catch up in stead of leading. Sometimes, performance isn't everything.
I guess I just don't understand how or why a Motorcycle company would use words like "Intercontinental Ballistic Touring machine" and not provide the rider with the equipment....."Creature Comforts" (if you will) to make such claims a reality..........within reason of course. Wonder what a poll of C-14 buyers would reveal if they were asked "What is the ONE factory installed item you want on your bike?"
Ducatti missed out also on the Mulistrada. 85% 0f nthat bike is controlled or manupulated electronically and you couldn't install Cruise? You do refer to it as a "Touring" machine right? I mean it has an Electronic selectable ride mode for Touring after all.
I guess all Im saying is, if I'm going to buy a modern "Sport -Touring" machine, it WILL be equiped with Cruise Control at top of the option list.
a whole bunch!!!

How come nobody commented that the Triumph looks like it used the Concours as a template? Hell, the muffler is an almost exact copy of our stock boat anchor.

Probably because it doesn't, and the BMW RT was in fact the template.
