Things that are different Gen 1 v Gen II
#5
I haven't had near enough time on both bikes over the past week to make any real comparisons.
I love my old bike and the new bike has everything of the old and more but they feel completely different to ride.
I am reluctant to do too much on the 99 because I have a buyer just waiting on his finance.
The old bike always felt terrific to me from the day I got it till now.
The new bike feels firmer and more clinical in its performance and the electrics upgrade is huge.
They are both super smooth at different areas of the rev range.
I suppose it comes down to the looks and price at the end of the day.
The shortage of torque around town on the K8 feels odd to me but I don't do a great deal of town riding anyway.
It is by no means sluggish unless you sit in top gear down low.
