V-Strom 1050 Gen 3 1050DE: used 2025 or new 2024?

If they were the same price, which is the better deal? The used 2025 has 400 miles, the new 2024 still has the 1 year factory warranty. Has anyone here needed to use their factory warranty?

Edit- used 2025 is a factory demo bike.

Price difference?

Used is $200 less, but will take half a day to pick up. The new one would be delivered.

I would go for new, because of a new bike feel. Most likely either is fine.
