Welcome T ! You have a tough decision. I have owned both the 4th and the 5th gen. The 4th has more unique look and character, IMO, but has carbs which are smooth but need to be kept clean. The '99 being injected is a little easier to fire up and ride, as you don't need to play with the choke/enricher as much. I'm 6'2" and fit a little better on the 5th gen. I like the 180 rear on the 5th as well, more tire choices. If money isn't too tight, I'd look at the one owner, low mile 5th. Ride both - see what your gut tells ya.

 

Welcome aboard, T. Good luck on your choice.

 

welcome to the forum! You have a tough decision but I'm sure you can't go wrong either way. I have never riden a 4th gen but I do own the 5th gen and I love it. I would probably opt for the 5th if the budget allowed it, IMHO. Good luck...

 

Thanks guys ,adding to the choices now I'm also looking @ a 03 with 5,000 miles the guy wants 4,500. The 94 sold or the add was taken off the net.

Thanks for your help.
