Almost two years ago I made the mistake of taking a SG on a test ride at the local dealership. When I got back my 05 fatboy just wasnt the same anymore. I ended up selling the fatboy privately where I got more than the dealer would have given on trade and put cash down on a 10 SG. I love the SG. Id say just go for it now.
Bug must be going around, because I went and saw a Blue 2012 SG last weekend and have been dying to run in and swap out my '09 Deluxe for it. Like bad. Can't quite make the finances work just yet though, so I need to sit tight at least for a bit. My hope is to be able to swing it by summertime, or at worst, get a 2013 on order in the fall. Hope they keep that color around, it really pulled me in...
