Help needed
 

Can anyone tell me accurately the difference between a 2010 bike and a 2011 bike.
Im asking becuase my friend has just purchased his '11' bike and used the link on the previous page to find its actually a '10' bike and is none to happy.

Comparison

The above website will allow you to compare specs. of the two model years, but other than color choices, I don't see any differences in the two standard models.

year of manufacture
 

cheers for the reply. I will have a look but I think the only mods were between 2008 to 2009 and then when they offered the ABS option.
My friend is gutted that the bike he bought was sold as an 11 bike but is a 2010. He is currently 'discussing it' with the dealer.
I think there are still a few 2010 bikes being punted out by dealers who dont tell the buyer what year the bike is. Yeah its plated as a 2012 bike but it been sat in a box without being touched for 2 or 3 years.
