Mobil 1 is the best approved oil for Corvettes,and has been used in Corvettes for over 20 years!

Doesn't seem like comparing "apples to bananas" to me! It's comparing two high quality oils, and Mobil One is a much better deal. Period. Amsoil is a good oil, but not worth the extra $$$$ they charge for it, or the things you have to do to get a discount, and that's just fact. Your money, your choice, but I'm not a fan of the entire way Amsoil does it's MLM business. I can go to almost any store in any town, no matter where I'm at, and get Mobil One oil. If I'm traveling and need a quart, or an oil change, I don't have to scour the yellow pages to find a dealer in whatever state I may be traveling in, or wait a day or two after ordering some for it to get to me. What a deal Amsoil is!

Apples to bananas? Mobil One is just as high quality an oil as Amsoil, so I'd say that's apples to apples. You seem to be like every other Amsoil user I know, since they use it, and pay for the privilege, they must try to jusify the extra money they pay for it. ........ *here's clue* .........It's a good oil, I guess, but no better than a lot of other oils on the market, Mobil One being one of them. GM thinks so, anyway.....

Its only a matter of time till an oil debate breaks out!! Haha. Thanks tor the info guys appreciate all the feedback, I agree both oils are a quality product, truthfully unless I am riding in Death Valley in August, or Northern Minnesota in March I am not overly concerned between either as both have been tested and debated to death. If I walk into the oil aisle with only price/convenience on my mind Mobil 1 will win for sure. But as mentioned, the convenience of having it sit at your door in a day is pretty hard to beat. Thanks again!!

With out knowing any thing about them, we must guess, so here we go.
The 2002 is a 88 Twin-cam and its Achilles heal is the spring cam chain tensioners that need to be check often. Could be Carb or EFI.
The 2010 is a EFI 96 Twin Cam with a better frame, better engine mounts, better tires, better Fuel injection, and Hydraulic cam change tensioners. The down side is the compensator that WILL GO BAD at 20K to 50K miles and will need to be replaced with a Screamin Eagle Comp, spring set, and rotor Assy. Mine crapped out at 30K.
If I had to choose, It would be after I checked out each bike to see what the condition of them are as well as the add ons
Also, the accessories and performance add ons like pipes Air intake, a big bore kit installed... yada yada yada.
Color of the bike, more important than you would think.
The condition of the finish of the metal and the paint could be a big deal. I just polished my front wheel, it was in rough shape. I also polished my forks a few yeas ago,
These kind of things matter when you are comparing bikes. Is the suspension stock? Many bikes that old have upgraded suspension.
What about lights? LED upgrade?
Don't just look at the price do a deep dive into the bikes to find as much as you can.
Oh, Your Suzuki (109?), Try not to compare it to the Harleys, they are very different bikes.
Good luck.
EDIT: Got caught by the old thread bomb again!

His 05 with a cam which it probably has since you have to replace cam to go gears will be great bike. Better with 95 which wouldn't surprise was done same time
If it has stock pushrods, wouldn't surprise me was bored.
As for new frame, I am not sold. I feel cramped, for some reason. Needs extended brake pedal,not sure when Harley started doing that . And seating is cramped a little.
I ride interstate and 5 speed is fine.ya I usually try shifting when out of gears. But after I realize I am out of gears, I am fine.

IMHO, no need to be sorry. It's always good when the OP gives updates to any question/issue/problem...
