Hi Bdale and welcome to GWOF
We have our very own, honest to God, Honda dealer here and he says........
NOTHING, NADA, PAS DU TOUT
about the 2012 except that Honda is absolutely terrific when it comes to keeping a secret.
It really boils down to whether you want to enjoy next summer at a discount or wait to find out if it was worth the wait.
After 12 years of the same model we all are hoping for something more than just a windshield wiper but who knows with the economy the way it is.
I am sure the real messager of the no message will arrive soon to welcome you and talk about.....well.......something.
As you didn't ask for my opinion, here it is.
Buy an 07 or 8 at a discount that has truly been babied. Get your wings goin' next year and then see the 2012 when it gets here. You can sell the old one (trading a great summer for just a little coin as it has already depreciated or keep it because it is just that good of a ride)
BTW-someone here has one used many here would give their left #$%# to own. Might want to check it out. He is one of our best answer guys on this forum when someone has a tech question. No doubt it is as good or better than new. Look thru a few threads and you will see who it is.
Either way, good luck to ya and if you should happen to buy this bike, you owe me a steak dinner for a finders fee. (that probably sounds obnoxious but then, you haven't seen it yet).
Welcome again and good luck with the hunt.
