I got mine for a really good price, so I can't complain too much, however why didn't they do this from the start?

They may have "fixed" the problems...but it now will set you back over 9K out the door.
I am happy with what I have and what I paid for it. The whole point of this bike was it was affordable and relatively cheap to mod.

Yes the white is good but the gold forks with the white is wrong. That one of all colors should definitely have had the black forks.

I also think the black tail on the white looks terrible. They definitely should have matched the black forks with the tail. The 2011s and 2012s still look the best.

Says matte black.
Did any one noticed they returned it also. I bet that fixes the start up problem.

So happy I got the 2012. I'm not liking the 2013 (us version).
But I LOVE the blue wheels! We Americans never get the good stuff lol

I love my '12 but I would probably make fewer changes to the '13 model. All and all once I'm done the bike will be one badass bike. Just wish the wife understood that changes to the bike are a reflection of my tastes rather than succumbing to the cookie cutter society we live in. Now if I want more tattoos she understands go figure
