Indeed. JD regularly sells last years model to fund the next years new bike. The 500/4 was quick this year but it can be quicker. New engine mods, new exhausts, intakes, aeros and lighter again for 2014.Got 10mph to catch up on the Paton down Sulby Straight yet. 138 vs 148 so got a bit to do to beat it. Second was ace but first...is always best :-)
