Default Newb Fat Boy questions

Hello all. Got couple of questions if you guys can weigh in. I am going to get a Fat Boy, just not sure if new or used is the way to go. looking at a used 07'. So what are the differences from that and an 11'? Thanks for your help.

I don't have any experience with your bike question. Welcome to the Forum from Indy where it's great riding weather for several days!
