You talking about the Gix? Yeah it was and I have yet to ride one. But the two fastest guys in the NW both ride them and love them. In fact one set a new track record at PIR the last race weekend on it, with a BONE stock motor. But for his price comparo Im still sticking with a leftover '08 Gix

Oh yeah. I didn't pay close enough attention to his post. The '08 and ' 09 CBR are def different bikes entirely. And I have only ridden the new style, not the old.
