Hi Edgey, good to see another UK member. Great bike, I have a white EX also
Although your machine is brand new to you it is probably, like mine which I bought new 6 months or so ago, a 2014 model. It will have been sitting in storage somewhere waiting for you to come along and buy it. I think I am right in saying that the 2014 is still the current spec/model here in the UK. Your dealer might well have flanneled a little over this point, as mine did
Anyway, always stand to be corrected, and regardless - you'll love it
Enjoy.
