    tough call thats for sure. the 08 has some cool parts on it that arent made any more, like the hardkor hubs but the 06 has e start.

    id still probably go with the 06, unless it looked beat to death compared to the 08. what is your future plan for the machine? is it to add a bunch of the stuff on the 08? if so, then the parts alone will probably cost 2k+ let alone the time to put them on or have someone do it.
