Well unless you get a really good deal on a 2012 vs a 2013 I'd go with the 13. My dealer told me no reduced sticker on a 2012 SG 3 weeks ago. So I bought the 2013 even though it was a few hundred dollars more for the same bike. The reason is the newer model year will always win the resale department years down the road.
What's more interesting is there are no tech forum notes so presumably they have all the major issues with the 2009 + models worked out making model year 2012 and beyond the best bikes to consider when buying used.
Not much different from 2011 really for my RGU 2011 already had 103 engine ABS and all standard.. One major difference is numbers HD is holding back on production of the 2013 so there will not be the left overs like 2012.
I am waiting for my 2013 RGU in RED
Automatic compression releases comes to mind, so they can put in even cheaper starters lol
