[QUOTE="2WheelTiger, post: 387006, member: 6178"] You've successfully asked every question that's ever been answered a million times on here. You're gonna get dogpiled by the masses, but I'll suggest you search the site for the differences between the generation 1 and generation 2 bikes. Personally, I'd buy the 08, but I'd probably look for an 06 instead (because it's the same generation as the 08 and less expensive). Generation 1 bikes had issues with valve guides (ticking problem) and they weren't very good at keeping engine heat off the rider. Generation 2 bikes have these issues solved and offer a bit more refinement than the first generation. As far as the price is concerned....... I wouldn't personally pay $6500 for an 03. YMMV.
