The 2009 is white, has less than 900 miles, is completely stock and in flawless condition.
The 2010 is red, has about 5,000 miles, exhaust, seat, rizoma bar end mirrors, bags, guards and is $500 more than the bone stock 2009. It looks great for a bike with 5000 miles on it but it does have 5000 miles.
If I bought the 09 I would definitely add an exhaust, perhaps the bar end mirrors and that's really it. It also has about 8 months left on warranty.
The 2010 has no warranty but is in great shape except for a couple of little scratched and a paint chip on the tank or two.
My main reason for the question is that I can be a little sensitive to engine/mechanical noise and from what I've read the 2010 are much quieter than the 2009. I had. 2008 1100 previously and I found the noise sometimes distracting, especially after opening up the air box. Is the 2010 that much quieter? Whichever one I buy will be getting some tod-mods.
So which one do you think is the smart buy? My heart says one and my head the other...
Thank you!
