First off, my 2015 just hit 30 hours and has been trouble free so far. My local dealer just offered me a 2016 before the blucru credit for $6500 (so $6000) otd. I find the new oil jets, strengthened crank and new piston appealing on the new 2016 and have always been concerned with my 2015's. I have a friend who is willing to buy my 2015 for $5000. Which would mean I can move into a 2016 for $1000. Should I upgrade to the 2016? Inevitably the 2015 will need a new bottom end by the end of next season (I put about 60-70 hours on every season) and some other refreshing since it will be at 100 hours. Should I just keep the 2015 and put the money into it next season or go ahead and upgrade to the 2016. Thoughts? Im a slow 30 year old C rider, not too hard on my bikes, religious with the maintenance, but never done a bottom end before on a bike and have heard never the same after and costly, part of my thinking in the trade up.

If you want it why are you on here writing about it instead of at the dealer signing for it?

Off topic, but on your 15 did you run a mix of race and pump or just straight?

I have a 16 coming and wanted to see what others have ran on their 15s.

Kill deal on the bike btw! Good job man.

When I was racing every weekend we would flip them every year and do basically what you just did. The cost of the bottom end, and having all new fresh bearings, cables, rotors, nuts and bolts, etc was well worth it

Thanks!

I drove a 2016 Tacoma yesterday at the dealer and it was terrible.

Mine is a 2015, and love her, 3rd tacoma since my high school days.

Im single, with a good job and no kids so money goes to my toys Wink
