The 93 A7 with the bright PINK KLR on the tank is indeed the rarest and
fairest of them all.

1996 or 97 were the big years for change. After that its just a color
choice.

Nice going Neal. You've really opened a can of worms here. Now you can read
why each readers year is the best when everyone really knows that the
beautiful dark green, camo green, army green, forest green A15 (2001) was
the best. Forget about the red or pink ones, the blue ones and the pink and
blue ones. Go for green.

I hate to bring it up again, but of course everyone knows that the Red
ones are the fastest.

There goes Dirk again lieing like a rug. Everyone knows the Green 2000 are
the really rare ones as well as being the fastest.
Don't listem to Dirk, he must own a red one.

The other thing that everybody knows is that the blue ones last longer
than the red ones.

Since I like them all, I would vote for a newer one but one with a
variety of body parts, in varying colors from each model year. You know,
a lime green tank, blue front fender, red rear fender, army green
fairing, Barbie radiator shrouds, and some random side panels in a nice
contrasting color. Make sure the left side is a different color than the
right!
"Say, uhh, what year is that?"
"Oh, it's a two thousand nineteen hunnderd eleven teen, model A10/20"
-----------------------------------
OK, if you read through my wise guy act, value is pretty much relative
to the condition of the bike. Since there are virtually no changes
whatsoever from 1996 to 2006 (aside from color), then the best deal
would be the lowest priced bike in the best condition. My vote would go
for something in the 1997-2001 year range, low mileage, good cosmetic
and mechanicals.
$3,000 for an excellent one, to as low as $2,000 for one with scuffs and
dents but still good shape mechanically.
Year doesn't really matter, although you should pay less the older the
bike is.

I wanted one of them there solid green 2000 models, but was afraid that
if I walked more than 100 feet away from it in the forest, I wouldn't be
able to find it, so I got a red one.
