:word: Badges are the only difference, which you can buy here if you want.
My step-father-in-law bought a new '04 when it was, well, new. Hasn’t had a single problem. There are no bad years. Stock it sounds like sex, albeit kinda quiet. Moves pretty well. He was telling me about how it surprised him one time when he was on his way to work and got on it at 50 and the back end started stepping sideways. Handles, stops like a dream. He’s got the Brembo brakes too.
So yeah, buy one. If you’ve got the cash and like it then there’s no reason not to. :tup:
