Good review. The glitchy throttle response in high power mode that he mentions might be something Kawasaki addressed before formal release. Plus, unknown if these test bikes were EU models (meaning maybe tuned more lean) than say US or Canada models. Definitely something that could be taken care of with an ECU tweak after warrant is up if.

I'll sue Kawasaki if there's no Steering damper. For the US models, you don't list stuff and claim the bike having these things and then not include them. What about the heated grips and the cruise control not once did anyone talk about that in any video I've Seen. If this bike doesn't have any of these things that I want I'll go back to s1000rr

Good luck with suing them the fine print says features are subject to change. One of the German reviews mentioned the heated grips.

The bikes obviously have cc and heated grips, you can see them in the videos. The reviewers just felt th eneed to talk about things we already know.

Yeah I missed that. I just went back on and seen that, and I read the main specs and it's not listed. I'll have brock do one and have it listed or I'll contact ohilns so the can make them. I might even see about using my zx10r if it will work.

I'm going to call Ohlins and find out but I'm thinking the us will have it do because the company is local in the us and I havnt seen dealers in other countries that sell Ohlins product

The US Kawasaki site still shows the steering damper. I'd think if it really wasn't coming with one that Kawasaki would have updated their site by now. :scratch:

Yeah, actually this review says in the "what we dont like" part that he wish the bike had semi-active suspention for ajusting the suspension on the go.
