New update as of today, I decided to go with a 2007 SB with only 3200 miles on it. I perform the engine compression test all are good. Clutch shifts nicely. I got it for $8500. I save more than 4000 dollars. and I like the black engine more.

An 07 Street Bob for $8500 sounds like an awesome deal. I too prefer the looks of the 07 over the 09. You did good!

It is a different one i found it 2 weeks ago. The kid bought it and now he cant afford the payment. His father wants him to unload the bike. The bike is a bit dirty, but otherwise good shape.

Didn't read all the posts but the 07 Bob is definitely the nicer looking of the two, no I don't own one.

I am considering a Street Bob with less than 5000 miles from 2007, the bottom price I have found so far is about $10,500 +/- $500 and for about $2000 to $2500 I can have a brand new 2009 from the dealer. The listed price for 2009 Street Bob is $12,999 with $1000 off (at least)

Considering that I always keep my vehicles for a long time, I don't trade in for a new model at all in the past. I don't mind to save the two or three K in today's economy. But I am able to afford a brand new one. In the past I have never purchased used vehicles for my own used. I don't need to have second guess of an used bike.

What is your thoughts and explain as you would. TIA.

If you can't find a better deal on an 07 than $10500, definitely go with a new '09. Buying an 07 at that price doesn't save you enough money to make it worth your while. Go get that new 09 bike with the 2 year warranty and stimulate the economy. You can probably talk the dealer into throwing in some extra stuff to get the sale. Play hard to get.
