2012 vs 2013
So it is my understanding that there is absolutely no difference for touring bikes between the two model years other than colors. True? So all the hype, anxiety, and suspense of waiting for the 13's to come out was all for not. Kind of a disappointment.

Dude, what did you expect? Are you new to Harley's? Colors are a big deal to some people. The anniversary editions came out. A brand new model (the Breakout) came out. Better tire option for touring bikes with 21's came out. Stereo system for an RK came out. Windshield with a vent came out. That is off the top of my head. That's quite a lot for Harley. What did you expect???
Oh, and I forgot all about the special SOA bikes!!!

My 2013 SG came with an oil cooler already installed. Was told that the oil cooler is now "standard" on the SG.

If you want revolutionary changes every year, HD is not for you. Harley's last big introduction was the V-Rod and that was over ten years ago. I bought a '12 RK just before the '13's came out (vivid black even), virtually no changes. Life is good!
