if there is only a grand difference, and you finance it (not all of us can pay cash outright) for 5 years, then your looking at 200 bucks per year. with interest, call it 20 bucks a month. hell, thats lunch once or twice. i'd go with the 09.

 

That is what I thought. All of my reading made me think the same thing. Thanks Everyone.

 

Well it has been unanimous and I go along with the rest. Even without the improvements to the 09, $1000 difference in year models is not enough. Like posted earlier, get the 09 and don't look back.

 

Go with the '09, just that new big baloney in the back is worth the grand.

 

i traded my 08 for an 09 and i love the changes i would do it again. for a 1000.00 bucks its a no brainer.

 

I have rented a 09 and 08 Road King, several differences I noticed were (one) the mirrors do not vibrate as much on the 09 and (two) the rpms were a little different through the gears (sales associate said two extra teeth on 09) - liked the way the 09 ran (08 was good two). For the price my .02 c would be to go with the 09. That said I bought an 08 Ultra and wouldn't trade it for anything! Good Luck!
