Nightrains... Any years to avoid??!
Hey Crew,
I'm buying a night train right away. (If you got one for sale under eleven g's, show it to me!)
WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW:
Are there any particular years to avoid?
Any years that had problems?
I am aware os some of the differences, ie: 200 mm tire after '06, upgraded to a 96 ci motor from an 88, etc...
Why is it that 2006 models seem to be priced cheaper or the same as some earlier models?
Is it because the '03 is the 100th anniversary edition?
Any help or input is greatly appreciated...

I picked up a new NT at the end of 09.
After 12,500 miles of trouble free riding, the 09’s have my vote.

I have an 06. No problems at all. 06's are a little cheaper because they still have the TC88 motor and 5 speed trans but they do have the 200mm tire (first year). I think only the first year of production was the only year it came with an evo motor.07's and up are TC96 motors with 6 speed trans. For under 11 grand your 06 or older is the best bet. All trians are good trians.

Thanks for the advice guys - AGAPS: Why the EFI?
I kinda like the idea of a real slow "lopey" idle and Id like to add a velocity stack - can this be accomplished with an EFI bike?
