ha ha ha ha! i always recomend to GO for the 06 as the 88 has WAY more engine mods you can get at much cheaper prices than the 96... I also have an 06 love it... dont have much work done to it just pipes baffels, Stage 1, KN, SERT... VERY well tuned... and i walk my buddies with the 96... not so much on the motor work but more knwoing where i am (tach) and when and how to shift... either way it is a good bike... if you get the 06 try to see what size injectors it has! the newer 06 models had issues with the idol temps on the smaller injectors but MoCO swapped them out if it has then

Definitely cover your bases...The 06 has the issues listed above, and don't forget about the crappy cam chain tensioners. The cranks/flywheels are POSs too. But that's not unique to this bike. All depends on what you want to do with it.

My 06 has no problems at all....yet..
Wait...I had my injectors done at 1,000 with my stage 1 job. I have had the primary apart...no issues.
