leftover 2011 or new 2012?

A local dealer has a 300EC on the floor and I was considering taking a serious look at it. I have been "burned" by the new model thing in the past and was thinking of getting a 2011 and waiting for the dust to settle on the new model.

Well we know the 2011's are soild bikes. That being said....I'm getting a 2012! I have a lot of confidence in GG and trust the 2012s will be sorted when we get them. I do understand the new model hesitation but the 2012's upgrades and looks have me foaming at the mouth for one.

What is the OTD price for each?

Local? Where are you from? (hint: you can add your general location to your signature)

I am also One that would normally hesitate on a new model. However I remember reading somewhere that GG has a 7 yr design cycle so the new design has been getting there for the Past 7yrs unlike other brands that have 2-3yr cycle so in theory things have been more thought through and chances of recall are lower ... Ps I may be wrong!

I also think it depends how long you plan on keeping the bike because with this new 2012 looking as awesome as it does I think it will be harder to sell a second hand 2011 in a year or so
