C'mon - chin up and face the World!
Not sure that counts since the parts to it are scattered throughout your house!!!!

Analogue - snails-pace for the time being - tinkering on our two solos at present.

Back on topic, I would definitely choose the EG, but I already have a cruisin' bike. On the tangent, I prefer a carb; more fun to own and work on, if needed. Good luck!

I think the most important part of the question is that both are '96.... That was a big year, I dont think you can go wrong with either, it really depends on how it was treated and how you'll use it.. In my personal opinion, it would be EG with no additional thought. It's a more complete bike. The RK is cool, but thats about where it ends to me. My '95 now sports a '96 RK seat to make it more comfortable and get my ***** off the tank, I've just returned from an 8k mi trip and could have easily stayed on the road if work and finances didn't call me back..
