In 2000 I bought the 1997 bike, and it had 16.000 km on the clock. I was in bike heaven when i took it out on the first ride, and the bike fitted me like a glove. I'm a tall and big guy, and my body isn't made for small Suzuki's. I fitted the bike a Dynojet kit, and it accelerated cleaner than before, and it got some more power.
In 2006 i bought the 2005 bike, and it was brand new. It had 100 mtr. on the clock. though my other bike is 8 years older, the changes isn't big. The throttle is more aggressive with the injection, but the bike has less power than the 1997 mod. The bike is fitted with Bridgestone tires, and I will change them to Dunlop 205 as soon they are worn out. Before I have tried Pirelli, Metzeler, Avon and Michelin. But none of those is as good as Dunlop. The Metzeler was grate, but had terrible mileage. I used 2 rear tires in one seasons, but the Dunlop lasts 2 seasons.
Enjoy the pics..... Ride safe....
