One is a new 2015 with a whopping 8 miles on it, its the mat black one with white stripes, the glossy black one is a 2012 with 2,482 miles. the 2012 has the 240 pack so it makes roughly 240 hp (factory is 148hp) and ungodly amounts of torque. the 15' is $15,499 and the 12' is $18,999. we also have a touring edition which has less hp and torque than normal, i can upload pictures and details of that if you're interested as well

The programming can be changed in the ECU, My touring was putting out more HP and torque than the classic. Triumph detunes the touring.

I own a 2011 R3T. Great bike, smooth, silky, and supple. No 2nd gear issues at all. I think that problem was with the pre-2008 models. Happy to answer any questions.
