[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1426749, member: 19880"] It is really a tossup with respect to suspension choice. With the ES, it is easy to adjust for current riding conditions, roads or load. The "A" suspension is something you may wish to upgrade at some point. (Especially after 50,000 miles or so as it begins to get tired.) There are a number of excellent aftermarket rebuildable suspension choices available. The ES suspension has been pretty reliable but you may wish to consider that replacement in the event of failure is going to be costly. Either bike is a great choice but I would lean toward the RED one with the ES suspension. As long as there is documented evidence of proper maintenance, I wouldn't let mileage be a major factor in my decision - assuming we aren't talking about differences of 50,000 miles. Consider add-on extras to be worth perhaps 50% of their original cost and only if they are added value to you. Exception might be a quality aftermarket seat such as a Russell which typically goes for 75% of original cost. [/QUOTE]
