Deciding between lightly modified 09S or new SP?

[patriot games]

I've been shopping for a Hyper for a while now and am considering a 2009 1100S with 10,000 miles ($12,000) and the following modifications:

Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust w/ upgraded ECU map, carbon fiber sliders, Ducati tank armor & tank bag, fender eliminator kit w/ carbon fiber turn signals, Pazzo adjustable levers, Rizoma dry clutch w/ carbon fiber cover

OR a very lightly used 2010 SP for $12,000

Any thoughts from the group based upon your experience?

I'm experienced both on, and off-road and would consider myself a fairly agressive rider. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience.

Too much money for the '09 S.

Not a bad price for the '10 SP if it's slightly used like you say.

I paid $9500 for my '08 S with 43 miles on it. It was stock, but that is half the fun of ownership, modifying it yourself. Expensive, but fun.

There are lots of good deals on Hypers in the SoCal area.

this is in the bay area though:http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/1819854648.html

I paid $15,900 for a 09 s in sept. Unless you can strap one on your back and swim here, It was my only option for a new, black S.

+1, Way too much for the '09, 10,000miles for 12k

09s buy forks with difference and blingy rearsets

I'd go SP. That 09 is way over priced maybe like $8,500 it's got 10,000 miles already. Look in the classifieds here there are some Hyper's for sale you can get an Idea of the going rate for a used one. Also the SP is lighter and has more ground clearance plus supposedly more HP.

Thanks for the input guys, I've been looking for a while and was hoping to find a highly modded 09S for a resonable price, but it seems they are tough to find. The stock ones don't seem to be cheap enough to pass up the 2010SP at $13,500 O.T.D. (a price I was just quoted by a dealer).

I also should mention that the original price I posted for the lightly used SP of $12,000 was not out the door, as I had thought.
