2009 500 lots of questions
« on: February 09, 2014, 05:19:30 PM »
How much better is a 2009 500,not abs, compared to 2007. Is the FI a lot better MPG,and less worries?
I am looking at a 2009,one owner,5000 miles,in great shape. He is asking $4200.00 I think that's high,only because the KBB is $3065.00, Any info would be thankful.

Price depends on the state. In California that bike would be worth about 3700.  If you can find one with ABS it's really worth having. It was only a $500 option but a potential life saver.

I have a 2009 ri no abs.  Fuel injection rocks.  The 2007 is great.
I wish I could ride more and drive less!

My first one was an '07. It had about 37,000 miles when I sold it with a rebuilt drive train. My '09 with fuel injection does run better and gets about 5 more miles to the gallon.
