Two brothers slip on is LOUD.
If new comes with warranty, its still a no brainer. New is better.
I paid 3,045.00 out the door for a used 09 in total stock mint condition with 2.000 miles on it in september. It now has 8,600 miles on it.

Now I see what you paid, I am getting a new one out the door with tax and tags for 3549.50, I think that is a great price for this area. I have been looking at bikes for about three weeks and this was by far the best deal I have physically found period.

I have found a lot of bikes around for good prices, but I still have to travel three hours to get to them. I am going with the new bike. I put a deposit on it and I will be picking it up on Saturday.
Also, I am glad to here you fit the bike nice, I was kind of afraid after a few hundred miles I would feel like it was too small. I am going to be riding in town though and the fastest speed limit is 50mph in the area I will be.

The only thing I would save my pennies for ( besides all the engine mods ) is suspension. The bikes are a little soft, especially for guys our size. I did my suspension and it made a huge difference.
Stock will work, but heavier springs and better valves make it a lot better.

The Two Bros is LOUD! I have it, and if time/money allows, I'll replace it with a different aftermarket pipe/system some day.
I paid 3100.00 out the door for a slightly used '09 SF in Feb with 1200 miles on it. Sounds like your new price is a decent deal.
It's a fun little bike!

Yeah, that is a great price you got for a new one.

Moto Pro Suspension or Race Tech suspension will hook you up if you want to tackle it by yourself.
I went with a MX shop and had them do the work. I have done everything else on my bike but don't know anything about suspension.
