 What would you like to see a MC manufacturer offer.

  For me, I would like to see something like an FJR or ST 750.

 Yea, I have a 1200S Bandit, but it was not for the power as much as the chassis size.  I would  really like to see the makers offer some bikes for normal people.  I do not need 100+HP to commute to work or go out for a nice long ride.

Ah yes, the Deuville.  Me likey.

I want Triumph to put fully adjustable suspension on the Sprints, just give me what the Speed Triple has and I would be tempted to buy a new one.

A Triumph motard made with a 675 motor and revised frame designed to allow 'tard steering lock.  Get it well below 400 lbs full wet and well over 100 horsepower at the wheel and buy a really big life insurance policy. Bigok

How about a lightweight water cooled, carbeurated bike with  valves the common man can adjust , Ditch the shim and bucket design. make it shaft drive, 6 speed, with some wind protection.   In short, just update the connie 1000. Dont get all crazy like the connie 14. Simple and reliable, cheap maintanance but upgrade the handling. Reasonable price would be great too.
