PSO, I test rode an '08 AE, liked it, and then found a new/used '09 AE with only 650 miles on it and bought it. Love the damn thing. No downsides, plenty of guts, handles exactly the same as an "A' of '09.
Any criticism is just bitchin' from the folks who think a clutch lever is necessary to prove you have 'nads. (Hey, wanna bike the "original" way? go get one with pedals!).
I looked at the Aprila, but I will never own a bike with a chain again, I like riding more than maintenance. No bike is absolutely perfect, hence all the farkling (by me too).
There are AE's out there, certainly not as plentiful as A's but I had two dealers offering me '09 AEs last year before I bought mine from a private owner. Git'er done.
