Well, the 2001 gets my vote. You just gotta have the Sapphire Blue, of
course, and it looks so nice with the silver wheels. FWIW, I have a blue 2000
and had the front brake reservoir remedied and the gearing changed to '99 spec
at 12k miles. I also fitted the carbon fiber pipe at the same time and it's
much snappier, yet still fine for long distance slabbing. I just got back from
a 4 day round trip to Dallas and back (about 600 miles total), and averaged
better than 45 mpg (U.S.) doing between 80 and 90 mph indicated (75 - 80 mph
actual).
