Is that 5-10% of extra tech and 'bling' worth the several thousand dollars that I would have to pay for it?"
If you can honestly say 'yes' to this, then go new. But if I was you, I'd be looking at a 636...they're prettier. 
Then I'd spend that saved money on new gear. Like a sweet perf leather 2-piece.
Just tossing you some options and perspective to consider....new bikes are hawt but they're $$$. |
I agree with you, i got a brand new 2010 ninja 250r and in my opinion i would have felt the same about the bike had it been a 2008-09 used. My 2006 r6 was used and the way is see it is thats its new for me. My suggestion though is that if you choose the used route, get it inspected by your local dealer that is certified in that brand of motorcycle.
