New 2007 with only 66 miles on it? 2008 with 10000 miles with all the new updates like new timing system and better oil cooling. Both around the same price. You guys know your shit, so help me out please and thanks.

You need to find an 09 or 10 to throw in the mix and compare. Your call, I don't know what way I'd go. Could come down to color.

Yeah, what he said. Except 2010 SS's are impossible to find now.
Unless the 07, 08 ur lookin are cheapo, look for an 09. I've caught 2 b/t 6-7K a$king--could be a deal for updated styling/warranty. }

I have my 2008 XB12SS for sale...650 miles on it...never dropped or laid down. Valencia Orange. All stock except for the Rizoma mirrors. Due to my job and family, I really do not have time to ride. Asking $6000.

Buy an 08 up because of significant engine changes to help reliability.

I like the earlier ones 07 and down you can tweak the ecm on those I think quite a bit easier.

You can tweak even more on the 08+ models. I am currently playing around with the IAC on mine to customize the idle.
