Looking into buying a new bike, Honda has a couple of demos that are priced nicely.. wondering if anyone can outline the differences between the '15 and '16? Thanks!

Almost the same bike, depending on price difference. Go the newest you can afford, resale better on newer year. If its a big difference use the $$ on the 15, suspension, remap, pipe. Your good. Mind if i ask prices? Bike details?

2016 has 5mm longer lower fork leg and different shock link, meant to transition a bit more weight to rear. Suspension clickers are 1/8 clicks instead of 1/4 click, not a big deal but can fine tune more. Motor is said to be unchanged, but feels like it has better pull to me, may just be my re-map.

Thanks for the replies.. think I'm going with a KTM now, though.
