Hi From Down Under

Hi guys, I'm a noobie here. I am currently deployed to the middle east with the defence force and am missing my SDR heaps. I'm doing some upgrading while I'm away and my bike is with my brother to keep her running and apply the upgrades. I have a really silly question about my bike though and was wondering if someone can point out the obvious for me. I bought my bike early last year and for some reason I recall it being sold as a 2009 model, thing is my brother says on the bike it says it was manufactured 11/2008. Are bikes like cars in the sense if they are made late in the year they are the next years model or do they remain that year?
I've seen some great tutorials on here, they've been really helpful. Thanks heaps.

Cheers

Ash

2008 and 2009 models are identical so it makes no difference.

Oh and welcome on board

Welcome mate. Where in down under you're from?
The rest as Clinck said, 08 and 09 only different colours.

Thanks guys. I'm down in Sydney when I'm in the country.
