Saw it at the motorcycle show last night.
Not bad at all. Feels nice and familiar, of course; ergos seem the same as they had been.
There are some good accessories available from Kawi. The stock seat height is identical to the old bike, but they're offering a 1" higher seat. There's also a taller windscreen available, and a 12v outlet (stock bike has the hole for it).
The fairing is quite wide up front... makes it feel like a bigger bike than it is.
The Kawi rep said it is an all-new engine and all-new "chassis" (sheesh).
Dash has all the stuff you'd expect these days... gear indicator, fuel gauge, etc. Plus an "eco" light for fuel misers.
They had four on hand... black, blue, the overly busy IMHO KRT black/green, and a rather interesting gray/taupe with orange highlights.
Biggest news: SAME PRICE AS LAST YEAR.
