Based on your post, it sounds like if you did order a 2001, the only
difference would be the radio and leather seats? A radio is easy to
get on the aftermarket, and you can find leather seats for a lot less
than the $2,000 price difference. Since there was a change to the
interior in the 2001s, I would recommend taking a look at a 2001, and
deciding wether the interior changes are important enough for you to
wait. (Some people like the changes, others hate them.) Sounds like
you are in need of some transportation, (even though you do have the
bikes). In your position, I'd probably be inclined to go with the
bird in the hand. Especially since that bird costs about 2 grand
less! Really depends on wether you want the new interior or not, though I
think...
