Suzuki did not make a 2010 model, they had too many 2009 in stock and couldn't afford the new graphics for '10. Zero disadvantage in this case.

Leftover Buells had between $3000 and $5000 rebates applied, so a 2009 or 2010 XB would run you about $7,000 out the door, the 1125 was often going for $5,500 out the door. Used Buells are bargain basement because of that rebate (and the killing of the company), so they are a good bargain for a larger (power wise) bike. They are also not the choice of most squids, so they are not as likely to be torn to shreds (but still possible).
