Closing this one until some real information comes out.  Start a new thread on the BMWs.  I'll re-open it after the announcement.  Also, logic sometimes doesn't work with me.  I could never be a Vulcan.  Ask my wife.

So

You could never be a Vulcan....but you sure as hell could be a Mean Streak. Kawasakically speaking of course.

I really had hoped they would bring the british Racing green they have I saw in UK over here...you can call it Hunter Green but it is the prettiest ( and most manly ) color of Concours I have ever seen.

Agreed.  I love that color.  I don't understand why it wasn't offered here.  I bought the 2010 instead of waiting for the 2011 just because I didn't like the color choices of the 2011 and I still like the blue 2010 very much.

I think blue is actually the fastest color myself though.

Looks like it will match my SO's Arai helmet color perfectly.

That grey still looks black, and is that a Canadian color only?

Exactly.  Seems kinda stupid.  Black and almost black.

This from the other site.  I actually like it more than I thought I would.

That photo looks even stranger.  Like there is a dark, dark grey on the bottom fairing and a medium  grey on the top fairing???  Perhaps it is just the lighting.

Is that what they're talking about? On a dyno you will get one result but in actuality at 75mph you get 5 hp more?

I see nothing different other than the color and MSRP.

Different color blue.  Several of the bikes in the Kawasaki lineup are sporting blue for 2013.

Blue is still fast.  Glad to see that the 2010 is still unique.
