Buying a T595 or T955

Hi Guys

I'm looking at getting a T595 or a T955 and I'm looking for a buyers guide. I can't find one here on your site. Does anyone know where there is a good one or can you tell me what to look out for.

Also how bigger step was there from the 2000 models to the later models. Is it worth spending the extra and getting the newer shape bike with the large single headlamp?

cheers

Nick

Other Motorcycle: '98 T595
Nick, I'm guessing Daytonas only? In a nutshell:

'97-'98; Only ones with T595 badge, up to about mid '98 questionable 4th gear (look for engine # 57946 or greater)
'99-'01; Same body style as '97-'98. Minor improvements, best of the first gen D955i.
'02-'03; Second gen D955. New body parts, engine, double sided swingarm available for '02. Generally a quantum leap.
'04-'06; Last body style change, minor improvements.

Brad

PS If you're in the UK there are two '01 model year possibilities. Due to a fire, the '02 second gen was rushed into production.
