That before you thought it was one of the lower end models. But I only paid about $AU750 for mine with a 10% discount when I bought the bike.

Getting the Foggy Red style, same as mine?

Looks good, maintains the silver theme you've got going.

$899 rings a bell actually, it was cheaper than the top end models of the other brands and looked to be a better fit and feature set. My discount knocked it down a bit too so perhaps it was $800ish I paid. My receipt is buried too deep in the pile to fish it out now.
