If the bill of sale they provided you states that the bike is a 2006, it was advertised as a 2006 and it turned out to be a 2001, you should be entitled to a full refund or the difference in value between a 2006 and a 2001. You might threaten to sue if they don't either take the bike back and refund your money in full or give you a refund for the difference in value between an 06' and an 01'.
