sorry, to correct myself the z900se in England is $11,300 compared to the hornet sp at $9,999 here in Canada the z900se is $13,400 compared to the Honda at $19,100. Can anyone explain how this makes any sense to me ?
Changes since my 2014? TC and ABS

noice, sounds quite good...
TTX already saves a bit, but no cruise control is a bit disappointing considering how easy it is.
no price in Aus yet.... but not sure I want to go test ride it

reviews so far are all quite good and gushing..... (from promo day).
not sure about the Z900 look though...

I saw the new CB1000 Hornet at the local bike show about a week ago. Mostly, I loved it. But:
1. It's a cable clutch, a step back ( in my opinion) from the hydraulic unit on my 2013. Light pull, but still, guys... 2025!
2. The side rad covers are shiny black plastic. The rest of the bike is at it should be: flat black. Aesthetic faux paux of the n'th degree. Aftermarket paint job a necessity!
3. No cruise control is close to being a deal breaker at this level of machinery and cost. My riding buddy "x'd" it immediately for that factor alone!
4. In Canada, $19k. Equivalent in the UK $17,5k. Not an impossible gap, but it'd be nicer to be closer to the Euro price... but it's only money...
Overall, if I were shopping for a new machine, it'd take something that I've not yet consdered to turn me away form the new beast. ne could probably fit a hydraulic clutch conversion... and the rad sides covers is just a paint job away from perect! And I've lived this long without cruise control so i suppose I'd endure that too...

I prefer cable tbh. Works perfectly fine. Easier to use, maintain, and change if need be.
the cruise control control. Yes i can be mostly
Upset about that. Something so easy to add . Many other bikes and makes have this. Why isnt honda throwing this in there???
but all in all you need the SP or nothing.

AUD$17,800 RRP (+ dealer costs, rego etc..) = ~$19500 ride away price + acc (exactly same as Kwaka Z1000)
cable clutch is very light with slip/assist clutch.. (does SC60 have slip/assist?).. but Hyd will likely feel nicer longer
yeah, should have cruise control.. Honda have switch blocks for it, and is basically just electronics/firmware
Nope, SC80 was the first CB1000R model to get it
are you saying that by switching the switch gear, and (somehow) reprogramming the firmware, you could add cruise control? really? in this world, or some dream?

i think very unlikely that WE could reprogram the firmware... but Honda certainly should have to at least allow it as a simple accessory (like Triumph).
for SC80, you can potentially put on OEM switch gear (if it real buttons like early SC80, instead of electronic buttons like late SC80), and connect to aftermarket cruise control (MCCruise), instead of using additional buttons
for some Triumphs.. you can just buy the switchgear, swap it over, then enable in ECU/Dash. very convenient

Cheaper materials? Or hondas really hurting and cutting down on profit
Ohlins shock and Honda RoadSync on '25, but maybe it's cheaper not to have a single sided swingarm

heated grip accessory = AUD$400
