[skyway]

192hp > 150hp at the wheel, ABS, shaft and factory bags :dribble:

I saw this thread over on STN. It looks like the same old recycled picture that Kawi has supposed to build for the last 3 years.

However , he said, if they do build it and the price point is close to the FJR, things could get verrrrry interesting in the Sports Touring oceans. It sure could take the wind out of the sails for the new BMW.

Remember when Kaw released this?

Guess which bike was univerally panned by the Motorcycle Design Association at this year's Paris show (Mondial de Deux Roues)?

I had a Connie and thought it a pretty good motorcycle. If that bike posted above happens it will be a great bike and I'm sure they will price it in the right ballpark unlike what BMW has done.

150RWHP+ Would be strong attractant for me; love strong acceleration and relaxed ergos. Plus it's the correct color.

Yew meen ah went a got ridda the Connie 2 years too soon? Oh no! Drat, heck, *** and pshaw! If'n ah'd only waited a cuppla more yeers ah coulda been waitin' and listenin' ta da rumors and conjectioneering instedda ridin' my FJR. Daaaang, its a good thang this here Yammyha motorsickle is a purty good'en, er else ah'd be a might up-set. At leest ah'ma gunna have this here FJR ta ride 'til the knew Connie finally shows up, it it e'er does. Ah'm shur glad I got me wunna these FJRs ta tide me over.

Now weel hafta wait-en-see whut the knew bike reely looks like, en wait un-till the magazeens rode test the Connie and compar'em to thee FJR and thee ST1300 en thee BMWs en thee "old" Connies.
