How could anyone say any year but 2009 or 2010?

2006 should be very inexpensive (5 spd trans and 88").

2007 with 6 speed trans and 96" stroker - big improvement.

2008 with the IDS and 50mm TB - big improvement.

2009 with the new frame and new gearing - big improvement.

2010 with the new o2 sensor setup ???

Definitely 2009

I have a 2008, and honestly I think the 2009 is a better bike. The best that has been been built so far. The more is less with the 2010 is a turn off for me.

Huh? Didn't they go to a 17" in 09 and then to an 18" in 2010?
