    Hi from New Zealand. First time on the site. I'm thinking of selling my Harley (please keep jokes short) and buying a Roadster. I'm looking at a 2008 and a 2012. Is there any real difference and did the 2008 have the little problems sorted out from the previous years. Ta Ady.

    I have an 05 R3 with the stock 3 pipe exhaust system. I want to replace it with a dual system. I really like the stock exhaust on the new Roadster but I'm not sure if it will fit my 05.
