I haven't bought yet but for me I don't see the advantage of buying a new model vs a 2016. Did they make a 2017 or just went right to the 2018's? In any event I'm thinking by summer or earlier a 2016 will be had in the fourteens as they are in the fifteens as we speak. Lots then left for upgrades and still won't get anywhere near the price of a new one. I also like the look of the older bikes better. Just my two cents.
