Yep- 2012 onwards.  Optional, I think, but when you see that face plant in the car's window, they look like a good idea.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The hyperextension of the left rider's neck when he hits the windscreen is scary.

Think only on the Luxury model along with factory GPS.....the Standard model did get them, unless that now changed....a rider on the Autobarn in Germany atributes the airbag to saving his bacon a couple of years ago.
