K9 vs K8

[sootyrex]

Hello all. Presently trying to decide if I should buy K9 or K8. As far as I can see the only difference is the colour. But there is quite a big difference in the price here in Europe. Is it worth paying the extra for a K9 ?

The K9 has some improvements and refinements. I'll se if I can find the thread for you.

As promised

Yeah, when i bought mine in january of 2007, i was looking for an 06, because the only change was the color, and I wanted the fastest (blue and silver) color out there. plus I like the 2 tone better, and i probably saved over a grand over buying an 07.

 

[Evil_keeps_me_young]

and besides everyone know the fastest color was made in 08...

+1! I like the 09 silver of the Gen2s the best so far, it just looks so sleek and fast imo!

Thanks all for the inputs and the photos. I enjoyed the April Fool trick. I am working in Switzeralnd, and plan to buy in UK and import. This is supposed to be covered under EU wide warranty. I could buy direct from a Grey Importer in Suisse with about a 3K saving, but the warranty is a bit dubious in that deal. The recession has not yet really hit Switzerland and prices are sticking at not much less than list prices. I saw the white and silver versions at the Moto show in Zurich in March. But I would like Black or Dark Blue. Negotiations start tomorrow.leasewith wife, bank and dealer) Really thanks for the advice on the K9 vs K8. Saved me some money for sure.

Get the K8.

But that silver is bad though....
