I ordered an 09 yesterday, but it was an informal transaction, at best, since my dealer doesn't even have the proper ordering forms available yet.
Does anyone know for sure when the last of the 08s crossed the assembly line? Why I ask is that I'd buy a "crate fresh" 08 if I could find one in the orange/black color. I've seen them on dealership floors but I'm pretty anal about my bikes, always deal in cash and fresh out of the crate with "0" miles on the clock, no test rides allowed by the set up guys. And those last off the assembly line would more than likely have that ignition wiring recall problem of earlier units corrected.
Oh well..............if I have to wait until Nov or Dec, no biggie, our riding season is all but shot for this year anyway.
