Sooooooooooo Peet posted this : https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=206899.msg3789747#msg3789747

I said...F*** good price. Contacted him about numbers and this morning I traded in my 2016 Red for the 2017 White....  :thumleft: and so Wit Hings is now in my garage.

So off the bat, the noticeable difference are:

1. 2017 gearbox is definitely an improvement - much quieter and smoother gear change.
2. 2017 motor is quieter - BMW confirmed this as well and the power output remains the same.
3. Kak reflectors on front forks (new EU requirement ) - will be taken off this weekend.
4. New cluster - looks much nicer.....but hold on...
5. Indicators are now just one LED, for both left and Right....not a fan of this and preferred the 2016 indicators. So now when activating hazards the red triangle flashes (first time it happened I though WTF!) to show you have your hazards on...- something to get use to.
5. New bike, new 1000km run in - ok, so not really a difference, just need to rant about it  :ricky:

Looking to trade up or get a GS? definitely contact Peet...very happy with my prime less 2  :deal:

Now to re-install all my extra's
