Dr Curve, looks like you have a soft spot for the 99 first build and no amount of information will make you want another year, but there is no difference between them until twin spark 2004 model, and that only came in for emission control. Even if the 99 build can do 10 more MPH it would take 2 or 3 km more to get it there. Over here in OZ I have not seen any everdence that a 99 build holds out for more money or fetches it. It usually comes down to whats on the clock that determents the price. The other thing I would like to say is that we are paying not much more for motor bikes new now if you convert our dollar to USD. At 64c AUD there's not much in it.
