Default 2008 colors vs 2009

I was thinking of fliping my 2008 SG for a 2009 but a salesperson was honest and told me to keep my 2008 SG which is white Pearl because he says 2008 was only SG year with a White Pearl with the gold flakes.. is this true ? I still like the white pearl but the new Ruby looks great..

I bought the Crimson Red Singlow and had a real hard time deciding between it and the Pearl White.

So guess what I was able to buy a 100% complete paint set in Pearl White off a brand new bike two weeks ago and may switch out from time to time and enjoy both colors.

I'm kicking around doing a custom paint job with the white that includes some orange and a little silver to break up the two colors.

For me I could not be happier with my 08 and plan to enjoy for several years God willing.
