bikepilot Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Three main differences I know of between '98 and '03. The newer one has: 1. Better forks (showa in place of Paoli (sp?). Easily identifiable by the pretty blue-green color. 2. Better brakes (4 piston front caliper IIRC + AJP masters in place of gremica) 3. Different carb (no idea if its better or not). 4. Possibly geometry changes. The '03 I think had slightly steeper fork angle. Overall they are quite similar - same basic frame, motor, shock, etc. Similar feel to them. If in similar condition I'd definitely take the newer one for that smallish price difference. If the newer one is really hammered and the older one quite nice I'd take the older one. If its any help my '01 is a Dougie replica. Don't know if '03 was as well or not (I'm new to Montys). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
