The FJR1400 rumor mill has been grinding away since 2008. The Triumph Trophy 1200 for almost as long. I'm sure they will be nice bikes if/when they come out, but I'm not holding my breath. Kawi has an ace up their sleeve with the ZX-14 motor. They could also upgrade the suspension easily, as well as switch over to the ZX-14's traction control and Euro-spec non-linked ABS.
Personally, I'd be more interested in a Ninja 1000ST ABS.
