What changes are there between the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 R1200RT. I've read some things (mostly bad) about power assist brakes and wondered what year they stopped putting those on. Other differences? I'm looking at going new but used would be great too. I just want it to be like the 2008 I test rode. That bike was awesome and I loved everything about it, well, I was having trouble adapting to the handlebar angle, but otherwise my 1hour 45minute demo ride sold me on the bike. Thanks.

Power assist on the 05 and 06 models. I have an 05 RT and love it. The 08 have a service reminder that can only be reset by a dealer, at this time. So if it was me I might try and find an 07. If you can find any year R1200RT, that is well cared for and is a good deal I would not rule them out.
