New 2013's super cheap!

[memphis2857]

I have been after my first brand new bike for a while now. I am seeing leftover 2013 for under $6k! Any reason not to buy one? I can buy a 2014 for around $7k and the 2015's are way out of my price range.. My main question is, why would I not buy a new 2013 over a 14 or 15 considering the savings?

I bought a 2013 demo 300e earlier this year and I love it! It's
heavier than the 15. Not sure about the 14. I don't think there is a reason to not buy it. Especially at that price!

I was in the same position and went the 2013 model. Make sure for your coin you get the closed cart forks and an aluminium subframe. The 2014+ gets the nice purple shock - possibly better build quaility than the entry level Ohlins 888. It also gets the diecast engine covers and head, with associated weight savings. The 2015 gets the adjustable powervalve.

I bought a 2013 on clearance, modified the head, added protection, tuned it up, registered it, and still came in under the best price for a 2014 rolled off the floor (considerably).

Mine came with a closed cart fork, plastic sub frame though. Did some of the 13's come with an aluminum one?

I crash quite a bit and haven't had a problem with the plastic one yet. All I've managed to break is a footpeg, two shifters, and one pipe.

Different geographies. Here in Australia for 2013 we had an e start model with 45mm zokes and plastic subframe (and button of course).. or race model, kick only, alloy subframe, closed cart forks.

I wouldn't even think twice about picking up a 13 at a good deal. That's how I wound up with two. I wanted enough spare parts for racing, after crunching the numbers for spare wheels,plastics, etc,etc. I found a smokin deal on a 250, sold the estart and got a plate. Now I got all the spares I could need but haven't used. Never had a problem with the plastic subframe, but the estart is below par until 15. GG has been a learning curve for me, but all they need is careful setup. I would go for it.

What bike are you looking for? Perhaps I can help. LSK Lebanon missouri 417-588-3550.

I would be happy with a 300 race model. Not a fan of the zokes and really don't care about e-start how can you tell if it has the closed cart forks and an alloy subframe without actually seeing the bike?
