Ive decided to get a 1125r. It looks like the 08 is the better choice, no? Are there any common issues with the 08'S? I definately want to avoid the stator issue thats why I am thinking the 08 is the way to go unless it has pitfalls as well?

Ok I dont have a 1125r now. I had a handshake deal with the guy yesterday,who happens to be a veteran and a doctor, and he sold the bike out from underneath me 1 hour and 15 minutes before I was supposed to meet him with the cash. Could you imagine having a guy like this watching your back in Iraq? Could you imagine having to take his word as your physician? Hes probably bilking his patients for thousand and insurance companies for tens of thousands. This is the type of professionals we have in place in this country now. This is what men are risking their lives for, to protect. People like this are snivelling little spineless rats that deserve to be treated as such. Hopefully karma will take care of this scum.

I'd be a little pissed too, he has every right. If he were to call and say he got a better offer it would be different, but he didn't even contact him......
Tough call.
He doesn't know you and maybe he wasn't sure if you'd be back. Lots of people 'kick the tires' and dont follow through with payment. And if you didn't come back, he could potentially lose a sale so he had to strike while the irons hot.
Maybe a deposit would've prevented the situation. Just a thought.
Either way, I'd be frustrated to lose a bike I had committed to.

For those of you that dont know, any item over $600 that has a handshake deal, is a legal binding contract. I was just as obligated to buy the bike as he was to sell it to me. Maybe ill sue the bastard, hows that for toning it down? lol
i know the feeling man... just had a similar thing happen to me
money does talk
.. but if i was in his shoes i would have at least contacted you saying i had a better deal or at least double check to make sure you were still coming so i wouldnt lose out on sale..

... not every person that "deploped" is putting there life out on a line... im in afghanistan and there are plenty of guys that dont do a thing all day besides sit behind a computer and do nothing but go on FB and occasionally work, while others like myself are out 4-5 days a week outside the wire... not saying that the admin jobs are any less important than others. but I wouldnt say he "put his life on the line"
just saying...
anyway it is a ****** situation when you do find the bike/car you want and plan to buy and it gets sold from under you

Can't believe I'm reading this right now [confused]
Usually you Americans are all about respect for veterans. Most don't care what you did in the military only that you served. And now this douche is saying he wants to sue a veteran for not selling him a motorcycle
Good stuff [cool]

I completely agree that people should respect veterans regardless of what they did.. my only thing was saying he put his life on the line, no one will know for sure.. just saying
and i dont think he has any right or good reason to sue.. like i said money talks .. and **** happens, hell the same thing just happened to me.. you get over it and find another one
