88-98 are good. More leg room and I think a better ride. Engine reliability about same as the squarebody. I have never like the brakes on the 88-98 years. even with the MC changes, the brakes always felt soft. I think the squares have better brakes.

I agree that if you are looking for a DD type ride, you might be better off with one of the 99-2007 years. I prefer the 99-2002 myself. Cleaner looks and depending on the model less gadgets to tell me things I don't wanna know.
