Next generation wish list

[Westy]

Anybody got any ideas what they would like to see on the next generation model ? For my two penneth I think cruise control is long overdue, you can have it on the RT, or the GT but not on the bike that probably is used more for touring than any other in the range. Lets get peoples 'wants' on here then someone may take notice.

Cheers
Westy

A comfortable seat would be nice

 

[Mutley]

I'd go for an 1150 engine

 

[Demongroover]

A redesigned and meaty final drive with easily replaceable bearings.

A comfy seat.

Cruise control.

Larger adv panniers.

Exhaust that doesn't stick out enough to eat into pannier space.
or under seat exhausts.

Decent under seat storage / tool area.

Built in accessories point.

Built in 12v power point (NOT under the seat near the back wheel).

a final drive that doesnt lunch itself on a regular basis

So, listen to me you people in Germany! I need:

-a high quality adjustable upside-down front fork
-21 inches front wheel
-less weight
-less vibration in the engine
-more flat torque curve

Thanks

I think you will find that KTM already make that bike

All your needs.......

It seems to me you have hit the nail on the head.....................just get a K1300 GT and all your needs are catered for ! Cherry red is a good choice.

What about

A HONDA badge.............

 

[slimpickings]

electric screen

horn to wake the dead

Seat that is actually designed for the human ass

heated grips off an 1150

reliability

reliability

And a five year warranty to show faith in the improved reliability

Adventure screen and winglets as an option.

A fix for the dubious final drive, which seems to be the latest parts failure to be hanging over our heads as we ride....

....that and the return to a better build quality.

 

[herrdirektor]

- Same build quality (good) as my 2008 gsa
- ESA 2n Gen
- iDrive, as on the upcoming 1600 GT/L would be nice
- Xenon and adaptive ligting as option
- Lower fuel consumption
- More storage room
- It should look like a batbike=ugly, as my current one.
- Better color scheme. Hate the current 2010 one

 

[OldCroc]

The quick-shifter that is on the K1300S.

BTW - does the above bike have the same final drive issues? It is putting HEAPS more power through the drive? (And why is it on the other side?)

[snerkler]

40bhp more
Electric Screen
Quicker gear shifter
Lighter
Fender extender as standard
Screen spoiler as free option
and did I say 40 more horses

 

[Number 6]

4 wheels and a roof?

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

I think you will find that KTM already make that bike

So.................do BMW - it's the F800GS
