I actually hope it prompts Kawi to add FI, optional ABS, digital gauges, more streamlined exhaust, and a beefy suspension/frame (not that it isn't adequate, but the swingarm and frame just look wimpy) while keeping the styling the same.
Sportier bars would be nice too but it looks like they both need that.

Why would Kawi add a "beefier looking" frame/suspension? The current 250 doesn't stress the frame, swingarm or suspension to require more material. If you want the look add a swingarm cover.
The seat on the CBR 250 is not a banana seat although those usually offer more rider comfort.
The handle bars are one of the nice looking features of the new CBR. They are tall enough to provide a comfortable ride and give better leverage for spirited riding while still allowing access to the forks. As they're designed now they look like the design will lend itself nicely to the aftermarket and "clip-ons" or lowered risers.
