new 2018 models??

Has anyone noticed on Kawasaki's website they are showing a countdown to 2018 models on 12/1 and have 5 bikes hidden under covers? they already list the new 2018 line on their website, so are these something different and potentially all new?? Sure looks like at least 1 could be a touring model as looks to have a trunk?
Any thoughts or rumors??

I have noticed that as well. No idea what bikes they are.
Kawasaki never says a word about what they are planning.
I guess we'll see on the 1st.

Their new supercharged sport tourer isn't on their site yet.
Neither is the Z900RS - retro standard.

There's multiple versions of each of these, and they also changed the ninja 300 to a 400. Haven't seen anything about new cruisers yet.

I don't know, anything that looks like a crotch rocket does not appeal to me.
Neither do the bunch of retro bikes being made now. I like a laid back riding position and do not need to go 100 MPH

I like the z900 that looks like the original z1. Kz1000 was my first bike, so I have a soft spot for them. Not the RS model with the mini fairing, but the standard.
