What would you change on the Nomads?

dantama · 12-03-2007, 07:04 PM

Recently there have been a couple of threads about what you like about Nomads, how about what you would like to see changed?

I'd like a cruise control. Should be an easy thing with the fuel injection, it's hard to imagine why they aren't doing it already.

A trunk that is as attractive as the bags are would be great.

What else?

blowndodge · 12-03-2007, 07:24 PM

Cruise control, sound system, better FI, better seat, Trunk.

fairing with tunes

I'd see it equiped like a Star Royal Star Venture. Full Fairing, Audio package, Lowers, and Trunk. A GPS, heated grips and seat would be nice too.
But that's just me.
Ride safe,
Dano

Dano you right on target, it would be nice to see one from ma kaw dressed out. ride safe

Full dressed and an extra gear

I think ma kaw is starting to think a dresser. The introduction of the new radio system for the nomad is just a start. There are a few of us that like the full dresser look and others like it the way it comes. So outside of a really good 6 speed transmission, a bigger fuel tank, and cruise control as stock, the rest could be ordered from the factory as an add on. Then one can go as much or as little as is wanted.

Rumor has it that ma kaw is thinking of bringing back the Voyager. With the solid 1600cc and 2000cc engines, it would be really easy to introduce a full dresser based on either one of those engines.

I like the looks of a widshield and hardbags on a bike.
Cruise control, tach and either a little bigger tank or better mpg would also be good.

<marquee>an extra gear mikesth?? 2800rpms at 70 ain't high enough? LOL</marquee>

blowndodge · 12-03-2007, 08:22 PM

If it had a larger tank or got over 50 mpgs and a rear trunk. I'm in agreement with topcat. I'd probably shut up and ride the heck out of it! The rest is just "what if's"

ds06nomad · 12-03-2007, 08:31 PM

More hp and torque with better mpg, including a 6th gear. That's not asking too much, is it? ;-)

mrfuni · 12-03-2007, 08:33 PM

Matching trunk to blend in with the hard bags, tach, cruise control, kinder seat, better mpg, and a cooling system to take some of the heat off my legs riding in Florida. Otherwise it's perfect.

cruise is really my only complaint but not a huge deal. Did anyone else get a survey from kawasaki wanting to know what you like and dislike in a cruiser?

blowndodge · 12-03-2007, 08:46 PM

NO! We are not in the hip crowd like you youngin's

naugaman · 12-03-2007, 08:50 PM

I received a survey but that was also more then 2 years ago.
