I very much agree with you. I said it in other threads- I would love to have seen a gen3 version with all LED lights, LED headlights and corning lights, cruise control, throttle-by-wire, alarm system, even larger multifunction display with color, and perhaps with some other little revisions here and there; but WITHOUT touching the wonderful analog dials, the great engine or transmission, or general ergonomics and style.
Alas, Kawasaki is using Euro-4 as an excuse to kill the C-14 in non-north-american markets, and I am fairly sure it will disappear completely after 2018. It will be "replaced" with a small (but fast) sport bike with luggage, short wheelbase, no shaft drive, short non-electric windscreen, no analog displays, no keyless ignition, and shorter range. Probably won't even carry the market-leading 3-year, cheaply extendable to 9-year warranty.
Sigh.
