What would you like to see on the Next Generation GTR/Concours?

[mikeyw64]

Ok so I've got a Gen 1 and I'm not going to mention anything that may already have been changed (if I can help it)

So in no particular order lets kick off and see what others add to the list/comment on

1) A Bigger Fuel Tank (min 26 litres)
2) Squarer Mirrors . I know they were raised for the Gen 2 but IMHO the upwards sweep whilst looking nice creates a missing spot. (Compare with the mirrors on the ST1100 or the GTR1000)
3) Hazard lights that operate with ignition off
4) A Proper fuel low level light instead of the annoying big message (Ok Ok I know you can cancel it but unless you've fitted the Bypass mod you lose the range functionality when you possibly need it most). Actually a proper fuel tap would be nicer, always did prefer those.
5) Tyre Pressure Monitors with self charging batteries (think watches)
6) Larger Capacity Panniers (possibly expandable like some BMWs?)
7) A "cycle' Option on the dash display so it goes through each of the available screens every X second
8) Mirror mounted Indicators
9) LED/HID  headlight
10) Almost didnt add this as not strictly necessary but I like, Switchback DRL/Indicators

Do away with the physical TPS altogether.

My car has TPS that works by monitoring the wheel RPM. As soon as it fluctuates, there's a notification for tyre pressures to be adjusted.

Wonder how that would work on a bike where the tyre wear is quicker than on your typical car ? Wonder if it would create too many false positives?

Nice thought though :)

iTPMS are, compared to dTPMS, more sensitive to the influences of different tires and external influences like road surfaces and driving speed or style.

Yes junk tps it's nuisance.

Fit perelli Angels as standard.

I like TPMS 

[Kylinski]

I thought there wasn't going to be a next generation?

When I bought mine in Dec the dealer said it's going to be discontinued.

Correct..there isn't.

The bike doesn't meet Euro 4 emissions requirements

I have been recently told by a Kawasaki dealer that the gtr continues and will be available! So who knows. TPMs good way of getting more money out of us. Mind you very Google if you have michelins.

Good not Google.

Again...correct

I don't know if I like TPS or not, I bought the bike with both batteries low  What about TPS with the battery accessible from the outside?

Best idea/compromise

My blood bike group has just approached Kawasaki UK to try and buy another Ex police demo GTR but there are none available. No problem at all to supply us a new one but the purchase price plus adapting it for our use is too strong. Yamaha are currently supplying a dedicated blood bike so we have a new FJR 1300 on order.
So they are still selling GTR's but are they pre reg's
