Well from what I can see if they would have done right with the crank the 96 would have been the best motor yet..of course after you DE-EPAed it but overall it would have really been done right with a stout crank and a timken. As much as I hate to say I understand their thinking though...most bikes get no/low miles so they went for the gamble. Doesn't make it right though
