One may fit your idea better than the other.
lot less.
SADLY, I can't find a 99 CBR in good condition for cheaper than this 2004 YZF. 3500...found a 01 CBR for 3900 but it was from a dealer and they would not give it to me for 3500 out the door..im paying cash..im not finacing a bike incase anything happens.
Anyways im waiting for a deal to come up before I buy. My max is 3500, for the bike alone.
