The latest MotorCyclist magazine (July 2012 issue) says a new FJR is coming...lets hope Kawasaki does something to stay ahead.

The FJR1400 rumor mill has been grinding away since 2008.  The Triumph Trophy 1200 for almost as long.  I'm sure they will be nice bikes if/when they come out, but I'm not holding my breath.  Kawi has an ace up their sleeve with the ZX-14 motor.  They could also upgrade the suspension easily, as well as switch over to the ZX-14's traction control and Euro-spec non-linked ABS.

Personally, I'd be more interested in a Ninja 1000ST ABS.

... and it'll still come with a 5sp tranny and an awesome 1 year warranty, standard!  ;D
