The wide glide is newer, has bigger engine (96CI), and a six speed transmission. So unless your a softail fan or it's a springer in mint condition you should probably go with the newer Wide glide.

Hands down the 2002 is a way better bike. ..in fact i had both...first off the 5 speed is a way better Trans then that **** 6 speed that's made like junk and 2002 had a solid foundation of a crank shaft..less epa bullshit to deal with and many parts are cheaper......and power???? U do a hillside 96 inch big piston kit for 600$ some light head work and woods tw6 cams trust me u will eat any bike around even the 110....the woods tw6 with the hillside big bore kit is amazing in fact it's the fastest combo I have ever tested and I been on a **** ton of worked bikes working for a shop

I agree, first thing comes to my mind is maybe the 2002 has already had motor work done.
