Almost.

Went to the local giant bike shop two months ago to buy a 2009 Honda 750 V-twin Aero as a counterpoint to my BMW XMoto. But, right next to it was a leftover 2007 Suzuki SV1000S with 1 mile on the clock. Ended up with the SV which now has 3k miles on it and is a wonderful machine. Plus, Honda just released info on the 2010 750 Aero. It now has fuel injection and a black out paint scheme that I really like. I would have been pi$$ed with the 2009 Aero with the improved model showing up so soon after purchase. The old style carb was a real drawback for me (6000 foot elevation change in my local riding area).
