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.
