Hi guys, I am looking to buy a Type-R but need some additional information which dealers here can't provide.
I am from Istanbul. Honda couldn't sell their 2015 stock completely so they are not importing the 2016 models until 2015s are sold out. From what I've heard 2016 models may arrive around August which is a long wait.
Are there any differences between the 2015 and the 2016 models? Are there any known hardware, ecu, or setting changes or improvements? I am saying "known" because sometimes companies iron out the problems without going public. For example Honda had an excessive oil consumption issue with 2008 CBR Fireblade which they denied but the issue magically went away on later models.
I have heard of a few issues with the new Type-R which are high engine temps and car losing power after 2-3 laps on the track and car going into limp mode when driven with under half a tank of fuel.
Anyone heard or experienced these issues or other important issues? If there are no differences I rather not wait and buy a 2015 (probably with a better deal too). Otherwise I will wait for the 2016 models to arrive or even the 2017 models.
