With all the changes on the 2014 model will the 2013 be the one nobody wants in a few years time?
What changes?
just about to pay for a 2013 version....
Steering damper
New updated switchgear
Revised clutch pushrod and probably many more clutch mods, yet undisclosed
The 2013 model will be sought after as being the original bike that felt fully 'alive' before the steering was dumbed-down to make it more saleable to those riders with only one ball, definitely the penny black of the GS-LC collection.

Surly you mean T.F.?

A steering damper is the only difference. All the other mods will be done under warranty, so aren't an issue. I can't see that the damper will be that noticeable, but will report back, once I've ridden my new bike next year.![]()

Is there not a difference with engine modes with the 2014 model? In that it does not have the 5 engines modes found on the 2013 model.

BMW chap on the stand at the NEC said that bikes after September 2013 no longer had the 5 engines modes. Now to be had on the GSA onlyA certain dealership manager, with who you're acquainted, certainly told me that was the case when he foisted my 2013 model on me.....![]()
Really - they're going to retrofit the new clutch pushrod and revised switchgear to 2013 bikes? There's also the clever, new gearchange assist gubbins....![]()
