2013 C14's?
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:38:17 PM »
Sorry if this has been covered, but I searched and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know when Kawasaki announces the 2013 models? I'm looking to buy real soon and don't know if I should jump on a 2012 or wait to see what they got for 2013. I don't want to have buyers remorse if the 2013 is a totally different model and is something I just gotta have. Any input is appreciated, thanks guys.

I think you have a ways to wait, still.  However, I have heard absolutely zero rumors about a redesign for 2013.

The only thing that I've heard about is possibly cruise control. I can live without that because I've never had it on previous bikes and wouldn't know what I'm missing.

I have not heard any rumors about cruise control but a lot of us think it should be included on this machine. Usually getting to the twisties means some slab work.

I heard they were bumping up the engine size, adding cruise control, adjustable handle bars, new exhaust, adjustable pegs, unlinking the front and back brakes, and...........dropping the price by $3k.

You forgot HID lighting, LED turn signals with front running-lights mode, a real horn, integrated color GPS/music, and adjusting the frame to accommodate a several inch adjustable heated seat.

that's a real bummer. I was hoping for a tilt lock mechanism like the Piaggio MP3...  :'(

What about auto turn signals that anticipate your next turn and come on automatically and then self cancel.

You guys need to quit joking around. Of course there is no info on a 2013 C14.
You need to start searching for 2013 C15!  :stirpot: :popcorn:

They discontinued that option after the 2008 and 2009 Model years.
