This will likely become the wife's bike at some point.
then 07. even if the 05 was treated the same, the 07 wins out. but if the 07 was ragged out and not taken care of,(anything can look immaculate, thats why i asked about the owners/style of riding) even tho its a slightly better bike than the 05 technically, its not the better buy imo.

Both owners have documentation of maintenance performed as well. Personally I tend to usually favor the least mileage, but the HESD I like ALOT.

Tough call. I hate the slight changes they made to the 07 visual package. But I would say that the 07 is more comfortable, as Honda has replaced that piece of cardboard that they called a seat. I've ridden my friends 05 and its a damn ball buster! But the 05 does only have 3500 miles.... that is babied!

Either way your getting a good bike, and unless you are going to use it solely for a track bike whats the extra few pounds gonna matter???

What color is the 07???

LOL not that it matters... but if the 07 was the sweet ass metallic blue/silver scheme i'd say take it but nevermind.... thats one of my favorite paint jobs ever.

8,000 miles is not a lot. Not at all.

07. Simply a far better bike and the mileage diff is only 4500 miles? Thats nothing. 07!
