Cant decide 2008 spirit vs 2009 spirit

Remember that you will probably want to change the rubber out and all fluids. Will want to go over the bike with a fine tooth comb when you get it. Something with that low miles has just sat somewhere and more than likely not been properly maintained.

I had an '08 Shadow Aero and really enjoyed it. However it was carbureted and I think new models are fuel injected. I don't know where the '09 model fits in the progression. You might check into that if EFI is important to you.

Either way that bike at that price is a pretty good deal.

The first fuel injected cruisers were 2010's.

There's practically no difference between the 2008 and 2009 models. Get that 08 and ride like you stole the thing >_>!

sounds like a good deal to me as i paid 2500 dollars for a 05 shadow spirit and it was a naked one had to buy all the extras i wanted.
