I was organizing files on my computer and ran across this pic. While it looks like a normal '13 U.S. model, looks can be deceiving.

This pic was posted to the Nighthawk forum in April 2010. The poster saw it on a weekend ride somewhere in CA and said it was wearing manufacturer plates. It looks like a prototype of what would eventually be the U.S model.
A few differences that I noted were a different reflector set up around the license plate, the smaller turn signals appear to be installed and there are no reflectors on the front fork. Anyone see any other differences?
After drooling over the Japan/Australia models that came out in 2010, this pic gave me hope that someday I'd be able to own one myself.
