Im wondering Exactly what the differences are between a 08 SG and the 09 SG and newer. Im thinking the RG would have the same improvments. Is it worth buying a 09?
Will the 08 have the wider rear tire?

 

'09 and new has the new frame, wider rear tire, erc. 2010 has a stock 2-1 exhaust and the addition of a cat. 2011 went back to the 2-1-2 exhaust w/cat. 2012+ has a 103 engine as stock.

I got warnings of malware on those links.

2008 bikes are a transition year, with the old frame, but new 6 gallon tank and metric wheel bearings. For buyers who are not bothered by things like that they could become a good purchase I guess.
