March 8, 201313 yr Hi Can somebody tell me what is the difference between the 2012 bikes & the 2013 bike, apart from age & price of course.
March 8, 201313 yr 2012 Bike had a few weaknesses. Mainly the Swingarm which for heavier riders flexed a bit. The Engine appears to have been a bit safe on power. The Brakes and clutch used the "Formula" parts which many hated. The 2013 has a reinforced swing arm, (most 2012's should have it as well by now), The Engine has more power in 300 form so not such an easy ride. That could be down to the 250 and 280 being for the less experienced or those who want a quieter bike.. The Hydraulics are now AJP which most prefer. My Son has tried two 2013 300's and thinks that out of the box they are the best bike. But that's down to his preferences. He has tried other recent bikes and it's down to riding style as he says.
