that $9000 is $6750 in US money. sounds like a good deal to me. if it's the used one with only a couple thousand miles on it and no major flaws, i'd get it... but if you wanna fork over an extra $1k for a used one, i'd do that, too... dunno. all depends on what you think you'll benefit from a brand new bike as opposed to one that's broken in. got mine new because i wanted to know for sure that nothing's ever happened to it...
