I personally think a motorcycle should be black.
But your bike could change my mind, especially with the black wheels.
the black wheels, they hide brake dust and make regular cleaning a thing of the past.
Actually, no. Generally, silver to medium grey is the best color for hiding brake dust. Black is NOT a good color for hiding most dirts/dusts/etc.
Are there any other changes other than color?
After seeing this I went looking at Kawasakis web site for info on the 2012 model. Seems odd that they are selling 12's but have no info on the web.
I thought I saw another guy on here that had a blue 12 that had claimed factory dual muffler exhaust.
After just hooking up a new 11 model last month I am happy that other than color there are no reported changes.
Just wondering why Kawasaki has everybody in the dark. I mean like who would know 12's were out unless you actually went to the dealer. Most people start thier search at the mfr's web site.

Love the color. Dang Kawa dealer told me it was cop loving candy red. So I got the black. Glad I did it through Costco so the stealership didnt make a killing. plus Costco will send me a $250 debit card for doing a survey of the program. Been on FJR fro the past 8 years and still would of if they would of ever added a sixth gear. this bike is totaly different. really smooth. Havent really got it past 5K or really on it being only has 10 miles on it being break in says on more than 4k first thousand miles.
Dealer said that the reason bikes not on site is due to official announcement after dealer shown in Oct. Apparently the CHP ordered 140 bikes in 2011. They only took 50 . So when they wanted the other 90 for 2012 Kawa informed them of the 300 buck increase. Cops said no way. So Kawa offered them to the customers first as a poke in the eye.
