I had a 2010 SE and it had a radio and ESA with traction control too. Heated seats and grips.

Not sure if that helps or not.

As standard, my 2010 SE didn't have a radio or traction control, were they factory fitted options.

I was the 2nd owner but they were definitely factory options.

Are you sure there were SE and LE models of the 2010 MY bikes ?
When I ordered my new 2010 bike I don't remember LE being an option.
I have a friend with a 2009 MY which is an LE.  Could a 2010 LE be a 2009 MY registered in 2010 ?

I'd tend to agree with gogs01, my September 2010 Twincam was also an SE model.

Recall there being a Hexhead LE spec. bike which was produced late in the model run prior to the Twincam coming out.

Hi Gents
Yes I agree, I can see the difference on the SE and LE now, that David has pointed it out on the actual spec catalogue.
Mine is exactly like the Photo, and has the extra options too, the tyre pressure monitor &  the ESA .
Thanks gents for your help identifying the difference.
Happy and Safe riding 8)

My SE had traction control as standard.

The only thing missing from the accessory list I believe was the radio.

What year was the bike.

My current 2012 SE also doesn't have traction control.

Jan 2013.  It is the 1200RT SE and has,

Tyre pressure monitors
Heated seats
Heated Grips
Computer
ABS
ESA
Traction control

To be sure that it has none of these were additional extras I checked the original invoice and there are no extras.  That spec is 'as it come'.

My RT is May 2012, each year, they probably add more to the same (SE) spec. bikes. TPM & Traction Control must be additions for 2013 models.

It is not unknown for machines to be registered incorrectly - an LE as an SE for example.


The worst I know personally is an Audi A5 registered as a "quattro" (in the V5) but the rear wheels not not turn on a dynamometer because it was FWD.

Does it have 'ASC' on the top of the 'ESA' button?
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
