The '13 is red? Pretty sure that's a U.S. model that was imported. The Canada '13s were all white. Double check that it really has ABS. In '13 some U.S. models did and some didn't.

Think about what you might want, 3500.00 would buy some nice farkles....candy glory red is the fastest color....blue however is a very seductive color.....

Worship I'm in agreement with metallyguitarded. (and ferret)
There surely aren't 3500 reasons to buy the '14 over the '13.

Hello See, MG, we do agree more times than you give me credit for!

Since I'm from Canada I will chime in here: there was an early model in white (I actually looked at a few (used)before I bought mine (new)-I loved the white color scheme and they were rare and too far away for me to consider).
I believe there was a limited production run of about 100 bikes. 2012/13 model I believe. I think they were 5 speed and non abs.
The red model that is being looked is more than likely a US model (as Canada only had white and now blue). The speedometer will tell you for sure as its likely in mph (not metric).
Differences that stand out in appearance: 1. engine is partially blacked out, 2. pipes are wavy 4 into 1 stainless (not chrome and not waterfall). 3. wheels are a combo of black, silver.
the other things to consider as was mentioned previously: 5 speed vs 6, Abs (but these are already mentioned previously).
I am guessing Ferret will have the correct and final answer on the exact differences. Hopefully this is helpful? I've seen the red in person (it was a US model). Its an awesome bike.
good luck with whatever you decide to do. Both are good choices I'm sure Smile

I know some dealers brought US bikes in as new when these first came out. I bought my 2013 white from Carter in Vancouver, who dealer traded it from Edmonton. The week prior they had brought in a red for a customer from Washington State. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a US import even if the guy bought it new in Canada.

I wonder if they swapped out the gauges?


RE: 2013 vs 2014 - kmoney_imp - 10-06-2015

I can't remember. I think dual markings is enough to satisfy our import laws, so they wouldn't have to.

I want to say there is a sticker certifying the ignition system complies with Canadian law on the frame rail under the seat of the Canadian bikes. I'll look later, but this wouldn't be on a US import.

Ok so the red one is a US model imported by the current owner. But I did locate a white one now too. Waiting to hear back from the seller. It's priced right between the other two.
