Which gen should I get?

Don't know which gen to get I can get a gen 5 with 23000kms for 5000 or a gen 6 with 58000kms for 5000 both bikes have all maintenance up to date and both stock. Which is the better one? And why?

 

5.5

nuff said.......

 

like trying on a shoe or a girlfriend. try it on first and choose the one that feels better

 

5.5 what u mean by that?

 

I think he is trying to be humorous.

Everyone has their favorite gen. I have a 5th gen, but I also like the 6th gen and I seriously lust over the 1993 in pearl white. Someday it will be mine.

 

should get something with carburetors, imho...dats just me though, and you know what they say about opinions, "they are like arse holes, everyone got one."

 

Beats me!


Buy them both?

 

i previously had a 91 and sold it this fall as was hard to get parts and accessories so maybe i am looking at the 03 for the availability of accessories for it still....but is 58000 too much mileage wise or just broken in ?

 

The best one ever made was the 5th Gen, and specifically the '98. This is the gospel truth.

 

LOL.................hahahaha that is funny knife.

 

OK, you want to compare the features on the two bikes. Does the 6th Gen have ABS? Is the 5th Gen injected? Saddlebags included? Does either have suspension upgrades? Power Commander? Is one better maintained by the look of it?

Personally, I think the decision boils down to these kinds of questions.

 

6th gen has abs, 5th gen injected, givi saddlebags included with top case mount on 6th gen as well as k&n filter and two brothers exhaust, the 5th gen is stock all both dealer maintained.

 

Get the 6th. Just do it.

 

I got one word for you: Geardrivencams.

 

If the choice were mine - and this is subjective, so what I think doesn't mattter that much - I would get the ABS model. However, I bet the 6th Gen hasn't had its first major service. That service is relatively expensive because of the procedure for checking the valve clearances, so take a look at that.

But ABS is cool.

 

well he said he did the 50000km service has the paperwork is that one of the major services?

 

OK, I see I was mistaken . I switched the two bikes. Never mind.
