The 2013 model is out. Looks like a colour change only.

Kawasaki obviously know black is the faster colour

In a way it's good news for us who already have one (sorry Asif). It'll help retain second hand values a bit longer.

was hoping they would make some significant changes for 2013 maybe another 50 ponies, heated seat, cruise control that won't be the death of you, adaptive headlight option, self cancelling indicators, all of which would come in very handy :smiley:

I am dissapointed that they did not throw a 1600cc engine in there !!! Heated seat, cruise control etc etc is for me not such a big deal but oh man, a 1600cc engine would've been great !!!!   

What changes ( besides colour ) are there actually ?

The model is due an update. With the competition offering more, Kawasaki need to up their game.

Considering they changed it at 2 years old to get the little niggles sorted and that the model run is now approaching 6 years with the only updates being colours, added to the fact that it's donor bike, the ZZ-R is now sporting an upgrade engine, I reckon an all new GTR or end of the line will be the plan for 2014.

Well it's certainly helped me decide which direction I'll be going in potentially when I decide to have an upgrade...... :whistling:
