RE: ?????????????
gerry- but, you saidthe '09 isfocused for more of an on-road ride. that is not true as the test in death valley verified. did you read the test? the styling of the old bike was way outdated, it needed changed badly. yes it does look good, but so does a '78 Corvette pace-car.
green- the '09 has different carb settings, no tps and other minimal changes- it IS more responsive. I've ridden both, have you? didn't think so.

The digital display is accurate and you don't have to guesstimate your speed like the analogs.

Sorry but, the 06 & 07 in green look way sweeter. They look like MX bikes. the 09 looks more like a toy. I also hate digital displays. Analog is better looking in every way. Of course mine's still all stock so your red one will probably pull away from me in most situations. I honestly think Kawi should have focused on a better mix of on/off road. Better Factory exhaust, better air flow, better Carb, Kenda tires. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but even if the '09 looks better, Kawi should have changed the important stuff. Can you immagine a stock '09 beating a fully modded '07? That's how I would have rolled with the changes.

I don't know but that red sure is friggin sweet and I'm so darn glad I got one in my garage with all necessary mods finally worked out. man the red is sweet, just the whole '09 design is a beautiful thing.
he does need to drop the price to around $4500 though. it's a used bike whether or not it has miles or not. maybe he should ask the dealer to rewind the deal.
