[QUOTE="McRage, post: 295326, member: 27806"] I'm looking at a couple bikes and either would work, but I'm concerned about the premature wear and tear that enduro use could cause... The 2001 was used for enduros and the owner is a mid 50's expert ("A") rider. Purchased in June 01. My observations: New Bridgestone rear and front - tires that came off were trashed (most knobs gone or severly damaged - said to have been the result of riding in sharp rocks in Nevada) The pipe had several large dents (said to have fallen over during a photo shoot - again on sharp rocks out West) The seat is new, however it came from the owner's new 02. The original was worn on both sides - looked like from mud riding. The bike was fairly clean, but there was still evidence of mud residue The 00 is trail ridden by a mid 50's CCC member in Northern Michigan. The bike has all the usual aftermarket goodies...bark busters, pipe guard, disk guards, chain/engine protector, etc. Both bikes started fairly easily, although it was only in the low 20's and the 01 had to be flooded and it took 7 or 8 stabs to light it up. Both bikes sounded tight. My concern is the wear and tear on bushings, bearings and seals, caused by enduro use and mud riding. I like the newer look and see through tank on the 01, and I suppose the 01 is worth more than the 2000 just because it is newer. I plan to look into a softer seat for either bike, and would replace the pipe on the 01. I wouldn't have to do much to the 00, except fix a small dime size hole in the seat vinyl. 00 - asking $4,200 01 - asking $4,500 I sure would appreciate your opinions. [/QUOTE]
