yes but...
Kawasaki has just announced the all new Concours 14 (and Concours 14 ABS) sport touring, which will be designated a 2008 model when it is released next year.The 1352cc heart of this sport tourer is derived from the ZX-14. The comfortable seat is complimented by extensive instrumentation (speedometer, tachometer, odometer, two trip meters, fuel guage, gear position indicater and clock), tire pressure sensors, electrically adjustable wind screen and standard hard luggage.
The new engine is digitally fuel injected, and features variable valve timing to spread the engine's power as far as possible across the rev range. Dual balancers, according to Kawasaki, virtually eliminate unwanted vibrations for extremely smooth engine operation and enhanced rider comfort". Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers feature a separate brake pad for each piston, claimed to increase brake feel at the lever and to better resist brake fade.The Concours 14 ABS model will be available in both Neutron Silver and Metallic Diablo Black, while the standard Concours 14 model will only appear in Neutron Silver. Pricing and date of availability are unknown at this time.

...this is going to give my FJR1300 a run for the money.
