I just picked up my new 2008 XB12R, with 5.5K miles on it. Not really the best time of year to be buying a new bike, seeing how I live in upstate New York, and we are having sub zero temperatures. But it is hard to turn down a good deal on a bike like this, i just dont really like the idea of looking at it for the next 3 months and not riding it. Oh well, small price to pay.
