Keep it, my 05 RK was bought new & paid for. If I bought a newer one I'd just end up putting $$ into it like I have this one. It's your call.

 

The devil is in the details folks. the 6 speed is a huge improvement IMO.

 

The 6 speed isn't really even useable until your at a minimum of 70 mph with the 96. Keep what you've got unless your itching for something newer. JMHO

 

conundrum, nice word

 

Hey man, I don't know about the 96. But, I use sixth often, and I don't have to be running 70 mph to do it. I had a 5 speed in my Ultra, and it just about drove me nuts looking for another gear all the time.
Much happier with the six speed.
