Must have a higher seat for those of us with legs that don't like being folded in half.

Or lower pegs?  How about some highway pegs as well?

Lower pegs would touch down too easy.

Highway pegs is an idea I've considered occasionally tbh, I'm well known for riding around with my legs on the engine casings for a change of position.

Suzuki already have that Col, called a Boulevard.

How about a full faired version with electric screen?  Call it Suzuki Pan1400-FJR   :onya: :whistling:

Wonder if the turbo off the brides 1400 Vitara would fit the scoota ?? Save me buying one l don't think she uses it. :whistling:

Don't know whats happening with the new Busa but they could make a High HP tune for a busa and high torque tune for a 1400 (with a 1402cc engine capacity of course)

wants:
Smoother gearbox
better chain adjustment system. (invent one if needs be)
4 pot brakes but bigger. ABS.
No fairing. Gotta be naked.
Round LED headlight.

Should be physically bigger but lighter with higher seat and six cylinders but still air/oil cooled.  Engine should be stroked to keep it as narrow as possible and give an increase in capacity to 1500cc.  Should have round LED 8" headlight along with LED's all round.  Beefy right way up forks and twin shocks to keep the retro look along with twin clocks but with a little Colour tft with other data on it such as trips, fuel usage, range, engine temp and air temp.  As it will have to have ABS it might as well have a couple of rider aids such as cruise control, traction control and a couple of rider modes for good measure.  It should retain the big tank and of course be Blue and White.

For me, pretty much as it looks now. Bigger motor of course, maybe 150bhp. Modern day suspension, brakes etc. Upgraded bolts thru whole machine, Allen keys etc. Every part, paint included, some sort of ceramic coating. My seat. usb ports, voltmeter. Id be happy.

It should be exactly like a K2 but with Yoshi cams from the factory. No electronic shite like ABS/traction control/modes etc

ABS is compulsory on all new bikes in AUstralia - or will be soon.

It is here already, I still don't want it though. I've hardly ever been in a situation to need it & the one time I could have been the ability to lock everything & 'step off the side' meant I just slide down the road dislocating my collar bone rather than headbutting the rear corner of a car.

I wouldn't want a new GSX to be too good, I'd want every one to say... 'yeah, they're good, but not as good as the original'

Need to keep the glovebox under the seat. That feature is the envy of many other bike owners.

😂😂😂 I remember reading reviews before buying mine and so many referred to the immense underseat  storage of the 14! "GLOVE BOX" perfectly describes it 🤣🤣🤣

'Car boot', people are often surprised what lives under my seat.
