So I did some test drives and went with a red 1200L 06 model. Bought it tonight and will pick it up tomorrow or wednesday. My question is they gave me an owners manual before I left to catch up reading before I got it. Didnt notice til I got home that its a 04 manual...is there a huge difference? Should I hold off reading til I can get the 06?
Congrats on your new scoot! I have an '06XL myself and absolutely love it. I've only had it for a few months and have 3,000 miles on her already.
I can't answer the manual question for you, but I'd recommend getting the right one. I read mine over the course of a few trips to the Throne and I highly recommend reading just about every page. There's tons of good info in there!
