Summer is that time of year when there's very little speculation about what the big bike makers are bringing out.
So while we're waiting for the autumn bike shows, what do you want to see on the roads next year?
From kwak I reckon the z1000 and the z1000sx could do with being upgraded, probably using the current zx10r engine and electronics.
It would be good if Triumph bring out the rumoured Street Triple 800cc with the same gimmicks the new Speed Triple has.
I'm hoping we'll see a new Fireblade, one that's all about handling and road use. 150bhp with a race spec chassis.
A streetfighter replacement would be good.
What do you want for 2017?

Re: What do you want for 2017?
I've already got the best bike I've ever owned so I just want the time to get out on it.
I've finally come to the conclusion full on sports bikes are a waste of time on Aussie roads. The speed limits on the good roads are low, the law enforcement very heavy and my recreational riding has changed. I'll leave the 1000 screamer for the track. Once again, just want the time to ride it.

Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.
