I have a ABS 08 and love it but if it was me I woud try to get the 2011 Think it has heated grips and TC Looks better and I like the fairing redesign to get heat off legs.
+1
And better mirror location, handlebar computer control, bigger windshield, windshield memory, better glovebox location, heat shield over midpipe, and some other nice stuff added. Of course, the brakes are linked and some people don't like that (doesn't bother me, though).
Despite what ZG thinks, like you, I agree that the 2nd gen fairings are much nicer
Top speed of a few MPH due to limiter? Who cares!
