125-200cc 2008-2009or newer differances

Want to join the 125-144-165 team.What are the differances between the '08 and newer WRs?

Lots of posts on those years. Summary: 08 and older have the older frame. 09 and newer have the newer frame. '12 WR got the new Ducati ignition. Lots of minor improvements and plastic/graphic differences inbetween those years. The newer frame does turn a little better and is probably the most fun to ride bike ever. The 08 and older were still great bikes and handle wonderfully as the difference isn't earth shattering. The brakes got much better later in the model runs. If I was buying one right now I would buy the '12 and get the free top end in the box for the big bore up grade.
