Beaudry Motors, Post Falls, ID is making a Concours 1400P that is certified by Kawasaki. IOW, they did the work with the full support of the manufacturer. This means that it will be backed by the Kawi warranty and can be serviced by any Kawasaki dealer.
They're already being used by ID State Police and Woodburn Oregon PD (pics in the opening link). California Highway Patrol is in testing and, pending completion of their trials, could order 350 of them.
If these prove as successful as the KZ1000-P that were around for decades, this could put a dent in the BMW market.
Er...uhm...keep a close eye on your mirrors!
[SIZE=8pt]It almost makes one wonder why a company like Yamaha wouldn't design an engine with a larger alternator for a market that requires extra electronic components. Of course, they may not have planned/wanted to sell that many of these motorcycles. [/SIZE]
What do I know about producing products for a larger market, anyway?
