I bought one of these bikes at the end of last year, got quite a good discount (about 20%), so you should be able to get an even better discount if they still have 2013 models available. I also had to put down 50% deposit and could not view/test ride the bike anywhere, so yes, took a chance, but paid off handsomely! I've had absolutely no problems with the bike up to now! Excelent components for the price and a very hot look as well!
