KICK-ASS new GTR1400 vids!

Wow, first time I've seen these.... they are from Europe, and the definitely kick ass!!!
The 2nd vid is the killer one for me, for several reasons:
1) It shows the new LDL "Tire Watch" wireless air pressure sensor as standard equipment
2) For the first time (to my knowledge), it alludes to the nature of the Variable Valve Timing, and happily enough, it does NOT look anything like that stupid-ass VTEC from Honda, rather, it appears to change (advance/retard) both camshafts via this interesting flywheel-looking mechanism on the end of the cam.
3) Shows the electric windscreen motor layout... looks like screen is move by flexible cables!
4) Shows detailed animations of the tera-lever shaft drive
Enjoy, people... this vids are extremely polished and refined; it probably took some Flash developers a man-year of development time!

I've never had a kow, well not one with wheels
Guess there is always a first!
Any specs on this bike? Can we use it as a fuel tanker? Weight?

great videos. the most in depth I've seen. Hopefully the electronics won't cause any snafus, in the 1st year models.
I'll be riding my Zed for a few years, but I like the new connie.

I like how the pinion angle stays constant in relation to the transmission output shaft..... definitely helps reduce vibes and promotes a long drivetrain lifespan.

The CAN BUS has proven to be trouble free on the ZX-14's, no reason to believe it would be any different on the GTR.
Cool vids, btw Warchild.

The Connie is definately more complicated in the electronics. The tire pressure nanny, windshield adjustments (I like the the simple cable "loop"approach they have taken here also) Are all components the 14 doesn't share. But yes, the 14's electronics have been stellar.

Those are *partially* them... not the complete vids, however.
The original links were removed by Photobucket because they were too popular....
