These are all the same price/deal for me. Which is a trade/cash thing so this is what's available to me.
06 FLHX Black with 8k miles, stockish.
07 FLHX Cobalt blue with 13k miles, pipes.
09 FLHX Pearl Black with 40k miles, stock.
All are similar condition with no issues.

Hmm, I'm having a hard time dismissing the 09 because of the mileage. I've never ridden the new frame models and I'm itching to try it.

40k miles though..

You never stated what models they are, I assume they are all "baggers".

40 K motorcycles are more appealing to me because the dude rode it and most likely took great care of it. Someone who rides that much is more aware and knows what it takes to take good care of a bike...

I'm really wanting to try the 09. I had an 07.

So what we are saying is the mileage is not to be overly concerned with?

40k is not a huge deal for miles. I am not sure though if it is worth the same as a slightly older bikes with a lot less mileage. I bought an 09 based off an 08 I rode a year earlier. The new frame did not play a role. I just really liked the SG

I like the wider/new rear end...that's a winner to me.
Brembo brakes
New Frame

My buddy raves about his...get an 09 and up he says.

I would op for the 07. I love my 07 and have had no issues.
