Bought my Black Betty new,
it was a demo.
Had 23 miles on it the first test ride, and 253 the second.
Bought it then, 1 week later.
Some guy who had a rocket and lived about 100 miles from the dealer,
had brought his in and they loaned him mine to ride while his got fixed.
Nobody rode mine from my test ride on, except this guy who rode it home and back.
It's an '07.
Bought my wifes off ebay for around $7000.
It's an '05 and had 6,500 miles on it.
Mine had the output shaft bearing go bad, hers hasn't.
Now that we've had a couple of years to think about this output shaft bearing problem,
I think the installer was just on drugs, or hungover or something.
so in essence,
just get one,
it don't matter which year,
you'll change stuff around anyway.
