BTW the next year changed a lot. In 02 they went with Delphi injection. they left the crank alone and changed the swing arm design. 02 is one of the best years IMHO.

If it were a carbed bike I would consider it but not for that price unless it's low miles and cherry.
15k, don't know if it's carb or not. actually, yes, it's cherry.

If it's carb and 15K I would see if he'll let it go for $8500, if it's EFI just walk away.
