You could buy a DLX too, MG. Ease the pangs of envy a little.

I much prefer the black engine and the silver side cover, I don't need a 6th gear, runs perfectly fine with 5,
I saved a lot by going with a leftover 13!!

I couldn't ignore a '13 for $7010. I was a bit worried about only 5 gears, but that is a non issue. It never feels like it needs a 6th even on the slab. Very smooth. Now, don't get me started on the stupid gear indicator. All right, so nobody got me started....but here goes....Real motorcyclists don't need no stinkin gear indicator! Posers need a gear indicator! There, I got it off my chest. I feel a LOT better now, thank you! obligatory smilie:

I find myself shifting into non existant "6th" on my 2013. So yes, the six speed would be nice, but I can live without it. Money I saved on bike purchase were well spent on accessories! I rode a DLX at my dealer´s place and I agree it is smoother at speed, but performance wise the bikes are very much the same engine with same performance.

Confession.
More than once I've tried to shift into seventh. There, I said it. I feel so much better. Thank you.

MG doesn't the 14 std have a gear indicator? I thought they had the same instrument package as the DLX?
