88 or 96 ?
Hi,
For one year I've owned a '01 RKC (no modification) and don't know what to do next :
- go for a stage 2 or 3 on my bike
- buy a pre-owned 100th (I really like the gray/black color) with less than 1000 miles
- buy an '08 model (newer motor, ABS and cruise control...)
Does it make sense to invest for modificationin a '01 model ?
Thanks for comments

95's compare nicely to 96's but can't touch a 103. Where do you want to end up and how much $ do you want to spend? If you are serious about performance, find the bike you love, have it built, heads flowed and dyno'ed.

RE: 88 or 96 ?
I tried a 96 today and am a bit disapointed. I find the bike too "sweet". Maybe because there was stock exhaust pipe (European one....). On my 88 they are no longer "stock". They had been a little "opened".
For those who had a 88 and now a 96 with non-stock exhaust (but still something no too loud), what do you think ?
