Sell the Gen 4, buy more mods for the Gen 5. :dontknow:
I have to agree with everything you said except for the transmission part, my Gen 4 tranny is smooth like buttah. Also both my bikes are very smooth, as in low vibration levels but the '16 is the smoothest of the two to me, feeling more like a gas turbine.I have both and they are completely different animals. The GEN5 has more power. The GEN4 is smoother and I think I am a little more comfortable on it and maybe still like it a little more than my GEN5. The transmission in the GEN4 sucks rotten eggs though. If the transmission was better and it had a little more power I think I would sell the GEN5. As it stands I'm keeping both.
Now you know how I have felt all year.These posts are killing me. I'm currently looking for a left over '16 KRT to trade my '12 G4 in on. So confused by these...
Just do it, the KRT is a lovely thing to look at parked in your garage and you won't be disappointed with the performance.These posts are killing me. I'm currently looking for a left over '16 KRT to trade my '12 G4 in on. So confused by these...
Being content is no bad thing....0These post make me content with what I have.![]()
In KRT colors the bike is a visual stunner, nothing else comes close IMHO. I saw one going down the road about 6 or 7 weeks ago and it just jumped out at me like no other machine and so ended up buying one.The G5 is better looking and makes about 10-15 more HP. Haven't ridden one yet except on the dyno though.
I wa sin a similar situation. New 16 next to a new 15. Both 0 miles. Over 4K difference in price. I went with the 15 and put money into a 3/4 yoshimura, quick shift, custom fit seat, 520 re-gear and a flash/tune at 2WDW. I'm happy. I rode a 16 recently and it's a helluva bike but at the time I think it was a good choice. That being said, not long after a friend got a 16 KRT out the door for what I paid out the door for the 15. If you want the 16 shop around. I don't see how you can go wrong with a gen 4 for a good price.Ima in the same boat...
My gen3 is totaled
And Ima drooling at 16zx10, but local dealer
Has a 15 with low mileage (1k) n warranty for a
6k less than 16 ( can buy lots a goodies for the 15)
Ima undecided ?
Pros for the 16 -- mo power more looks more features
Cons - mo money - Less dough for goodies
