thanks 124! the link was a great help actually found out the bike is in fact a 2006 model,i really love the bike so i'm not gonna go make a big fuss about it at the dealership,just get the papers re done and change 2008 t0 2006.........well i'm also a first time honda owner.....Were their any problems on the 2006 model i should check....????(really love the power)!!

Dont sale your self short. You need to question if paid too much for an 06hour if they were telling you it,s an 2008. I have a 06packet CRF450x i was looking to sale for $3000. I would think a dealer would price bike around$4000. And may have put new tires & the plastics. I woul tell dealer"I prefure to keep a good relationship with you over havin to report them to "i for get it's already that regulates them" ask for some gear to compensate price difference.

I agree, I would go back to the dealer and complain. If they were selling it as an 08, chances are you paid the price of an 08.

I had a similar issue when I bought my sons KTM 50. Was told it was on 06 but turned out to be an 04. But I didnt complain since I got it for a steal anyway!

All depends on how much you paid.
