If i where you i would look for the up dated model that has the movable screen and the sixth gear. Its also got a few other tastey bits in there as well but these are the best.
look out for the rear shock getting covered in road crud........... The shocks open at the back to the rear wheel and gets covered in road crud..............rear hugger.

hi mate, the '02 is carbed with a 5 speed box, they are a lot thirstier than the Fi with 6speeds, but is easier and cheaper to tune up, new jets and endcans cost a lot less than cans and a powercommander!
before you invest in a hugger, look at this;

rear mudflap anybody? - Honda Trail Bike Forums
it works very well, dont need a hugger except for looks
