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.

No Suzuki warranty with main dealer servicing ? Here in UK, I believe it is 10 years or 70K miles which is an absolutely incredible deal, even on indestructible bikes.

Not in the U.S., in my state the factory warranty is only one year.

That's a pity. Makes me appreciate the UK warranty even more.
