hey pop, is the 09 ultra really that much better than the 08? Just wondering. I was considering an 08 model, and they changed so much....and got fair reviews, thought I'd wait a model year.

enjoy them both

yes ..completely redesigned chassis handles very well...wide back tire 16".. and fender...17 " front wheel lower profile tire
the newly designed exhaust is very nice..2 into 1 into 2 .. head pipes(forward swept rear)... merge to a single inlet..dual outlet.. chamber ..and one outlet pipe runs under the frame to the left muffler...instead of under the seat..sounds awesome with SE mufflers..

It was cause of the major changes to the 09 that I bought back in

This one actually came before the Roadie, and is likely to go to my son in the spring.

Re:second bikes 9 Years, 4 Months ago  
Currently I don't have a second bike but,
I fully intend to purchase another Sportbike.

Thats where my heart lies.
Having just sold a Hayabusa and a 06 GSXR750 before that, as well as nearly a dozen other bikes before.
In all likelyhood, It'll be a naked bike like a Z1000.

The Star is my second bike. Had the 02 SV650 before it. The SV has 50,600 miles, and will probably still be here when the Star is gone

03 Silverado LE

02 SV650 Naked (Yellow, the fast color)
