I love my 08, but that is way too high for a year old bike. Like everybody else, at those prices, I would shop for an 09.

I really like my 08. I'm with some of the others on here. Try to get some extras thrown in eor maybe an extended warrantee. Also price out the 2009. See what the dealer can do for both years. If close, I'd go the 2009.

In a few months the '10's will be out and you will be able to pick up a used '09 for 16-18k. They're already out there if you look.

Good for you! All too often folks ask for opinions, then even in the face of overwhelming evidence they go the opposite direction. Smart move, and I'm confident you'll be happy. Congrats.

I remember telling my wife, when I bought my new Ultra in '07, that I couldn't imagine needing to change a single thing on it, it was perfect. That lasted about 2 days.
