[QUOTE="roger dodger, post: 1380297, member: 18173"] My son rides my 2003 (95k mi) and I ride the newer 2013(25k mi). Both bikes run great and pull like stink (cause we start off together a lot). The 03 is just plain 'quicker' to rev, run, and go! It flies off the line and spins up faster than you can say 'Oh shit!' The 13 is just smooother, heavier, and steadier. It runs and revs great... but in a more predictable manner. It revs linearly... the the 03 revs exponentially! If I could have kept the 03 for the hooligan in me, and the 13 for the grown up... I would be fine w/ 2 bikes. Since I can only have 1 bike right now... I chose to grow up and ride the more civilized, throttle by wire, CC, and steadier 13. (with a periodic romp on the sons bike).
