Question Slim '13
Apparently....

Since doing the deal and getting on the waiting-list for a 2012 Slim....

I'm told now that I'll probably be getting a 2013 model!!

Does anyone out there know if there a difference between the '12 and the '13? And if so, what it is?

Ta!

Yep. That's the only difference that I know. It was a mid year entry as it is so its pretty new all around.
Oh, and I think they raised the price. They gonna give you the '13 for the '12 price?

Congrats on the '13 Slim!

I didn't think HD had "waiting lists" anymore?

We were told, as the deal has been done, that I will be getting the '13 for the price of a '12.

But we shall see.... !

Andy, congrats again on the new bike and sounds like an awesome deal you're getting. That would never happen here in the States.
