2000 EFI vs. 2002

So, a couple road kings I am considering: a 2000 w/ 13K miles asking price 12K firm and a 2002 w/22K miles asking 13,500 OBO. They both are in mint condition and have a fair amount of chrome and upgrades to pipes, etc. and both are beautiful - but, I know there was an upgrade to the EFI in 2002 - IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG OR SO BAD ABOUT THE EFI ON THE 2000 THAT I SHOULD JUST AVOID IT?Thanks in advance.

Get the 2002. Delphi fuel injection is better than the Magnetti Marelli IMO and is easier to tune, etc. 2002 was a good year.

2002 will also have the inch front axle. I've got a 01 with small cam and big bore kit. It's got a Corbra fuel mangement. Never had any problems, but I would lean heavy towards the 2002.

I have a 01 with a PC3 and no issues, but from my understanding the 02 has the better EFI unit, so my vote is 02, and considering the price difference I'd go 02, as you will be riding it not looking at it so mileage is only important at time of purchase and potentially means nothing. I've seen some high mileage bikes/cars look and run better than low mileage one (or just lesser miles)
