I think you should wait until 2010, there might be something new come out and you would miss out.

Don't wait. Tomorrow may never come. 2007 is a known item, 2008 is all guesses at this point. Door #1 door #2 or door #3. Oh sorry, you picked 2008, the warranty has dropped to 1 year 12K miles, any mod and the warranty is canceled. 2008 models are to be made in China, like all the other products in the store.

I have found nothing wrong with my 07 UC. None of the horror stories read...

Hell, you could wait for the 08 and get the new watercooled mandated models! It could happen!

I've heard the 2014 models will be 9 speed transmission with reverse, cabin heat and retractable outriggers.

Don't wait. My '07 Ultra ran hot and a PCIII straightened it out. No other problems or concerns. Love the increased power and 6 speed.

Go with the '07. No problems with mine. Just test ride it first to make sure there is no unusual noises from the tranny. Who knows what the '08s will bring?

Ride safe,

I doubt there will be any real changes for '08, you'll miss all summer on a new SC, and it'll cost more while the old one will be worth less.
