About to make the leap to the Vaquero
 

I am in negotiations for either a 2016 Vaquero in the white I want, or a new 2018 in black. Were there many differences between the years? I can save 4 grand by getting a new hold over 2016 in white. Excited to get into this bike.

No changes of any significance from the first year of the Vaquero to present day.

I believe in 2014 they added ABS. Other than that, only the color is different.

Like they said, no real changes. If it were me I'd go with the 2016.
The money will look better in your pocket.

For me, Black is not worth 4 grand. And the white does not show the swirl marks in the paint. Since I have one I maybe slightly partial though.

I would go with the '16 and save the money.
HERE is a link for all Vaquero's including the specs.

NorthernVandal , did you get the deal done? White would be the one I'd be after. Having a Black '15, they look great when first washed, but doesn't take long to look dusty and dirty. That White one is an eye catcher for sure.
Hope negotiations went well.

Ride safe,
Smokier

Yet keep in mind a Black bike vs a White bike will give you these Spots of dust

If you have been reading this forum for any length of time, I'm sure there are a few ideas in your head already. That 4 grand will go a long ways towards up-grades.
