Agree -- very close -- get a new 07 or 08 Classic

Price wise, you are real close to a new EG Classic....

Save $500 - Ask the dealer if he will warranty the cam tensioners at 25k miles?

Tough call. Check out the history on both as much as possible. Essentialy both bikes are stock. You would probably want the bike checked out by a service tech or indy either way. So the service being done is not a big deal to me. Neither is the warranty if the history is good (other than the tensioners). The security and the tires domake it a harder call, but both can be done, plus the 20K service for maybe a couple hundred over the difference in cost. So go with the one that sings to you.

I'm really saying all this because my budy rides a Glacier White UC and I love that color. It is the sweetest white I've ever seen. So I would be going with the white, even though I own a Deep Cobalt (which I also love). Also, white is the ultimate 'hide'r". Scratches and swirles are harder to see. Dust and dirt as well.

What would you do????
As others have already suggested, I'd considering looking into new bikes. Price on #2 is so close, might be worth the extra $$ to have a bike you know the complete history on from day 1. Also gives you the chance to truly make it your own, not a rehashed version of someone else's "vision", converted into "nearly" what you wanted.

With what you posted, bike 2, but you need to get more info and find out about these scoots. You don't want to get the short end of the stick when buying used especially when you can get a newEGC for almost that and just add on slowly to get to the Ultra!!

Assumeing you have to finance:
You'd get a betterinterest rate on a new bike than a used and there's lots of 5 and 6 year 100% financeing out there right now "Cheap"!!
your call
good luck
