New GTR for 2015?

[viper]

Is that it??    New seat and screen? items that were available from Kawasaki anyway , we get a colour change every year anway, everything else in the video is on the 2014 model.

feeling very underwhelmed

TOLD YOU!!!

Doughnuts please!

Oh okay then, I thought it would be more but it does look VERY nice.

So, now to the question, do you buy a 2015 model, or buy some sticky tape of Fleabay?

I have the tape on order with my local mate who owns a graphics company, I reckon it's 6mm wide and when I get to his place soon he will put it on and I will see what it looks like.

a seat and a screen is not a new model, these are things that we all have done already, a new model is design changes, fairing changes, extra toys , different motor ect

you could have gone to your dealer and asked him to put the gel seat on, buy a new screen and some tape and hey presto you have a " new bike "

The heat guard plate on the exhaust pipe appears to have been removed as well

Not the GTR but here is Jay Lenos expose of the H2-R and the H2.

It's very simple, Kawasaki just have not sold enough GTRs to justify throwing millions more Yen at developing this model further. They more than likely haven't even covered their initial development costs yet. So maybe after the 015 minor update they will call time on the big fella.

Just a few questions for you....

Since it's release, how many other BIKES have VVT technology?   Nothing to compare it against there..

How many bikes have switchable fuel maps for economy (not power) as standard?...... Nothing to compare against there....

How many bikes in the last 6/7 years have electronic adjustable screens in this class of bike?

How many bikes have Tyre pressure monitoring system?  Ok, there are a few, but not many.

How many bikes have switchable linked braking technology?

There are lots of unique toys in this class of bike... and actually, no one saw this bike coming, if I remember correctly...

Much to my personal disappointment, I can't see this bike being updated in the next year...  :-(

Love the green the Americans get, but I think the black is classier.

Just be grateful and proud that you own a fantastic tourer regardless of the fact that "Ride" magazine didn't bother including it in their latest touring bike test

just had a really good look at the video and media pictures, it seems as if Kawasaki are boasting some of the enhancements back from 2010, such as better ktrac and 30 mm higher screen.
The panniers are still 35ltr, I cant see any difference on the exhaust , the temp gauge we already have.

It really is a seat, a slot in the windscreen and a shiny bezel on the clocks , but the really good news is that we will eventually get candy lime green!

[Kwikasfuki]

Underwhelmed isn't the word.

We still haven't had the US Candy Red, so i wouldn't hold count on us getting the Lime Green anytime soon.

You all keep getting your hopes up only to get them dashed against the rocks of reality. If the GTR was selling 100k units per year it would get refreshed every 5 years. As it is, we will be lucky if they replace it at all. Personally I would shoot whatever idiot originally signed up to use Bridgestones and have the ergonomics team sterilised, but otherwise it's still an awesome bike.

Hasn't that color already been done, seems familiar to me?

Only in your dreams, Jay.
