 |  posted May 14, 2013 03:17 AM  Edited By: BobC on 14 May 2013 14:28 I wouldn't change much but a digital speedometer would be a welcome addition.
 
 As far as the build is concerned I dislike the way the fairing side-panels mount on the 2012/13 bike. Very fiddly.
 
 ........but I'd not have any other bike

 That's something you can do for yourself, many do. I like the idea of a head-up display though.

 |  posted August 04, 2013 03:11 AM Personally I think building this outrageous bike was completely socially  irresponsible. I suggest Kawi cancel all future models, burn the blue prints and crush the remaining stock immediately - now that I have mine!

 As long as Suzuki is only changing colors and brakes on the Busa, Kawi has no need to spend tons of money on R&D for a new bike.

 Really digital speedometer?   Never liked digital gauges,  I think the brain proccess the analog/needle displays easier/faster then digital.   Besides, its fun watching the needles sweep as you accelerate..

 |  posted August 07, 2013 05:24 PM Yes!  A built in steering dampner, tucked away neatly under the triple instead of on top.. would be awesome!  I don't like the looks of the aftermarket dampners.  It would be great if it was electronic and would adjust on it's own according to the riding condition.  However, I've heard that they are definitely necessary on the 14r due to all that power.   Kawi!  i hope you are listening!  lol
