There is nothing on the main site.  Not here either:  http://newproductlaunch.kawasaki.com/Products/AllNew2012Products.aspx  Further searched revealed nothing.

I don't suspect there will be any changes for the 2012 model, anyway (other than completely dropping non-ABS models).

I thought they did that with the 2011.

In the US they did, but I believe I read that there were non-ABS bikes sold in other markets.

I'm not ready for a new one yet but some different colors and factory cruise control would certainly get me thinking about it.

I don't know about Kawasaki but Honda doesn't release any information  until after the dealer show which is usually in September.

My local dealer verified this, said September is the show and when they'll announce anything.

I hope that Mama Kaw will at least do a software change within the ABS system to allow a 3rd braking option. One that will allow the rear brake peddle to only apply the rear breaks.

Oh .... and a factory cruise control plug-and-play option would be nice.

never

They don't want to "go in the sweet zone" with such as the euro sport-tourers and gold-wingers, plus they may have to add a couple of hundred to production costs.

KiPass works so well I can live without it  ;D
