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?

Yes.  There is a LOT of air pressure at speed, and the pressure is used as a kind of weak "supercharging" which gets more air into the engine and improves performance a little.  The air intake is specifically designed to achieve this.

I see nothing different other than the color and MSRP.

Yep that's what I saw...  Would have been nice to see cruise or something else to make me want to trade in my 08 but I guess not.

I wonder why this one is listed on their website.

http://www.gizmag.com/kawasaki-z800/24076/

Because that's a european model?

They get some bikes over there that I would buy if it were here.

I'm with Wildnphx, was hoping to see enough changes to tempt me but, sigh, not enough to coax me off my '08. Maybe next year.

Do you do a lot of lifting in the garage?  :)

Blue

The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.

Under Optional Accessories they list:
• Engine guards, a large top case, tank bag, GPS bracket, a low seat and side spoilers – and much more – are on the list of authorized Kawasaki Accessories, available through your local Kawasaki dealer.

Engine Guards? My dealer had no idea about anything accept the GPS bracket. WTH are low seat and side spoilers? Sounds like the options list for a '74 Coupe De Ville.
