From what I can tell, there is not much new on the '09. \\; (Decal on Oil Tank, and oil tank listedas .5 qt bigger)
 \\;
One of the local dealers has an '08 still, but wont budge on price. \\;
is there anything else new on the '09 that would be worth ordering one in?
 \\;
I am trying to decide if I should just go with the '08 to start riding now, or wait for an '09 to arrive in September (when I am being told it will arrive).
 \\;

IMO, the 2008 XBones being the first model year and also a 105th Anniversary bike makes it more desirable. \\; The '09 is just an '09...nothing special.
I am getting my 08 on Saturday. \\; The only thing I noticed in the spec sheet was the difference in oil capacity. \\; 3.0 on the 08's and 3.5 on the 09's. \\; Any one know what the difference is a result of?
