I'm looking at an 07 for $9000 or an 08 for $11,000. Are the 08's really worth the 2K extra?? |

Yes, the improvements are worth the extra cost. Bob |

If you can afford $11,000...yes. If not...then $9,000 for a new '07 sounds like a good deal! |

See if they will let you test each before the final decision. If only around the park lot. There are subtle differences that you might not feel. The price diff would allow you to get the 07 w/ accessories/farkles for less than the cost of the 08. The fuel mileage is a little less on the 08, but the bike is just as much fun. |

WHat is the resale on a used low mileage 07 vs the resale on a used 08? If you ride either one for 2 years the the 07 will be 3 years old vs 2 for the 08. I think the depreciation alone warrants the additional cost, my 02 cents. Besides the upgrades are fairly substantial, we all know about increased cooling, steering lock, auto TPS but we also picked up a few hundred rpms on top and that deal making Buell 25th anniversary triple clap emblem |

Good point! The '08 says "Made in Wisconsin"! I'd go with the '08. (even though if it gets less MPG it has less range, which is one of only two Uly things which I still whine about.) |

Don't worry about the year - '07 vs. '08. Do what I did, buy the black one. John H. |

Do what you have to do, just get one and get riding. The perks are the grins that will never disappear. |
