[SIZE=12pt]Hi guys,[/SIZE]

Sheesh, I have been absent for some time. I suppose there are dozens of threads on this topic.

I just did a silly thing. I sold my '05.

Oh, in case I run across a new one have many of you found much difference in the two?

I will be bikeless when the new owner comes to pick this up. I don't like it. Two weeks ago I sold my ZRX.

Just wondering for those of you who have had both, have you found much difference?

Thanks

 
There's a model comparison chart here.

Newer bikes have ABS standard, and the AE auto-clutch is an option. Gen-II bikes are apparently much tighter inside the nose cowl. Bulb changes on the headlights are a bit more difficult. For those guys who want to add HID lights, they need the smallest possible ballast. Gen-II has adjustable handlebars and seat height.

I'd probably be hard pressed to tell the difference by riding. Same motor, newer bikes have a slighly longer swing arm, blah blah blah.

Just go get another one and ride!

 
Since you know that this subject has been beat to the moon, why didn't you look for threads on it?

 
And for sure, there is more help where that came from. ;)

Oh darn, I feel bad now. Is this more help? 1-800-GIRLDOESEARCH4U
