Down Under it looks like they won't be getting supply of the CTX1300 until Autumn... Oh wait, that's this spring for us!
Anyway, based on this article there is no mention of 2 versions (standard and deluxe) but just one that will come in 2 colors, ion blue metallic and candy prominence red. And their version will also come standard with heated grips, BT audio, and self cancelling signals!

Do you think they might have one model at launch and launch the other some months after? Or launch both at the same time?

Don't really know. I would think if one now and one later that the Standard would be first and then the temptation to upgrade yet again to the Deluxe. But that's just me I guess.

sounds like they meshed Deluxe features into the STD. ion blue could be interesting..

Thats what im thinking too, sure seems like something they would do. We'll just have to wait and see.
maybe asking our dealers might get us some solid info.

Keep in mind this is for Australia. Here in the US we are getting both models concurrently.

Yea different markets get different trims

So the standard in AUS is the same as our Deluxe ?

 

[bob]

Yep, plus heated grips come with! We have to pay extra for those.

 

[SoCalRyder]

should we also expect different markets to get different color options?

 

[bob]

Happens all the time. Maybe the white will be available here in the U.S. next model year. Maybe even Yellow!

Lovely how that works, a market with no semblance of NEED for heated grips gets them standard. Those who NEED them, PAY FOR EM!

clever trevors.
