Questions posed and my answers:
MSRP? My guess is that it will be the same as the DLX. Keyword=Guess and my guess has a healthy dose of hope tossed in.
Will I trade "up"? First, I don't view it as a move up. I didn't think the DLX was a move up, either. All are slightly different bikes, but I don't find one better than the other. 6th gear is better for some, but not for me. Larger tank=better? not for me. 4-2 exhaust? nope; just different. Second, the only way I would move to a 2017 EX is if something major happened to my 2013 and I needed to replace it. The EX won't make my "Room and Resources" list because I will always have my 2013 and the EX isn't different enough to make that list.
