Richard, you may very well be right on that point, but I'm not sure any of us without Kawasaki Motors on our business card could confirm that for sure. What I do know is that no matter what the product is, if you can use the same tooling for 10+ years, whatever you were losing on the first one, you'll be losing a lot less as the years go on. Wonder why the last-gen ninjette had minimal changes for almost 20 years? Wonder no more. I don't see any significant changes for the current-gens for 8+ years. Only thing I'd predict is that if the carbed models can't meet emissions in future years, the FI model becomes more widespread...
