2015 connie [pre-release speculation]

[Rhino]

I hope the new concours 14 will have the new zx14 power and be kawasaki green. that way in 5 years I might be able to find a wrecked one cheap so i can buy one lol.

The 2015 C14 is now on the Kawasaki web page and yes it does come in candy lime green. Also looks like there is a new vent or something on the windscreen.

ZG, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Would like to know what this thing on the windscreen is:
Never mind it is a vent

[VirginiaJim]

Wow!  All that buildup and you get ZG Green and a vent on the screen.  I'm really impressed with the brain trust at Kwakers.  Sarcasm off.  The green isn't bad and neither is the vent I guess.  Hopefully there's more under the covers.  Engine is the same.

More here on the GTR.  What they have may not necessarily be on ours...

Do want.

ZG, no more green. Time to go burnt orange.

in Germany it comes in stupid black with snot green line, or yawn grey with fallen asleep white line 

I guess Kawasaki didn't want €17495 from me after all.

  Sorry Martin, don't mean to laugh at your pain but how you expressed it I just found funny.

I like how they list out all the features and new things 

looks like there are minor changes to the cockpit.

The new website must be optimized for something other than my work browser.  How am I supposed to dream at lunchtime?

It was faster this morning. I think the Kawi servers are getting hit hard today because of the new Ninja H2 as well as other new info today.

Yep.  And yet they don't list all the features and still haven't even bothered to post a PDF brochure for 2015.  Yeesh.

Yeah, really

I question that diagram because there is already a huge error.  They claim the high beams indicator had been on the left.  That is incorrect.  It has always been on the right.  What appears to have changed was the general "ERROR" light (top left) has changed color from red to be yellow instead.

Thats my diagram, not official K.

I think it's a very small step in the right direction.  I guess implementing throttle by wire and cc is a 2 year proposition.  Maybe 2016?  I'll keep the '08 in the garage for a bit longer, although I'd like to try the '15 windshield, passenger pegs, and the optional hand wind deflectors.

Ooops

OK, you might want to edit that part, then.  Still, it is useful info.  I like the darker reservoirs, always wondered why they made them white (they stand out too much).

[Jimmy Lucas]

wow, thats neet and we just talked about that yesterday.

Does zg work for kawasaki?

Many of us (me included) predicted 2016 for the next real change which is likely to include throttle-by-wire and cruise.  The big question is powerplant.  My bet will be on just a switch to based on the slightly larger last gen ZX-14R engine.  All just speculation, of course.

Where are you seeing info about "optional hand wind deflectors"?

[BruceR]

Some one posted a video about the 2015 GTR.  I swear I saw clear wind deflectors on the bike...

[voileauciel]

Very disappointing. Makes my next bike-buying decision that much easier though. One less to look at.
