it sounds hard to justify it but if you look at the feature sets as a whole it does justify the increase to me.
fuel injection $750
suspension upgrade $50
Sprocket change $ 50
35 additional ccs $900
slipper clutch $100
digital display $150
to upgrade a new gen to be equivalent you would need to spend over $2000 if you do the work yourself.
for additional $500 you get a new bike, with better gas mileage, fast starts, faster acceleration, power, comfort, warranty, and better insurance coverage.
far from being a bad deal.
