I'm looking at a 2nd owner '01 300EXC for about $2,700. I know I can get a ton of info here on jetting & suspension, but I'd like to know if there is a reason to shop a bit more patiently & find an '02? Seems like once they are a year or two old, the market value compresses between model years quite a bit. So if there are good reasons that make an '02 a better choice I'd like to hear them.
And yeah, I know the '04 is a work of art, but the budget doesn't agree this year.
