Yes.
4dB quieter exhaust with a different look.
Reworked 1st and 2nd gear to reduce the clunk that some riders complained about. It reduces 1st gear acceleration a little as well.
KAMS (Kawasaki Air Management System) to remove the engine heat away from the rider for enhanced rider comfort.
A new connection inside the fairing to the radio to allow you to connect your Zumo GPS directly into the stereo system so you hear the turn by turn directions through the speakers and your headsets.

How many miles did you put on the 2010? Mine is finally broke in at 50,000 miles. They still haven't come out with a color scheme that I like better than my red and black voyager.

Have read some say they only have a base and treble adjustments, my 2012 also has a mid range tone adjustment for the radio. Mine is an ABS model, maybe thats the difference?

That's a nice improvement - my '09 doesn't have that.

Wow! Still riding at 72! You are the Man. That means I have at least 11 more years. I wonder what a 2026 Voyager will be like? Maybe it will hover? Rocket power?
