If your a millennial, go for the fuel injection. If you're my age, pick the carbed bike!

↑ That ↑
I'd do the 05 with the new tires, brakes and pipes.
Unless you want a blank canvas to throw another $1,000+ into for your own upgrades.
I'm old enough to know carbs,, but I sure do enjoy the "start and go" aspect of the EFI

If you intend on hot-rodding the motor; the '02 in a heartbeat...but you don't say if either of them is EFI or carb; or did I miss that?
Both original owner bikes? You buying 10+ year old because of pricing?
