Cosmetic? There are quite a few changes, I had a close look at one today and hope to take a demo for a ride as soon as they have one available.
Main changes:
- Engine slightly more power/smoother
- New radiator supposedly more efficent better cooling
- Suspension less travel but forks now 41mm
- New D section swingarms
- thicker front and rear spokes wheels stiffer
- larger improved brakes
- generator output increased to 17amps
Seem a much improved bike to me first look, and all for just a couple hundred more then the original. I think it's a fantastic bike and after a couple more months saving hope to have one in my garage.
Kawasaki USA have a nice little promo on the bike on you tube.
