January 20, 201214 yr Hi guys hows it going was looking for advice,im thinking of getting another 315R but was wondering what year to go for,is there a stand out model performance and spec wise and do they all have the HRC engine thanks.
January 21, 201214 yr i have a 97 it looks damned near mint runs great and is very reliable and is a third of the cost of an 04 if you can find one if you look for an 01 or later as long as it has the blue forks and has been well looked after you cant go wrong
January 22, 201214 yr Author the 2004 was the best. all the 315's had an HRC designed engine. thats great thanks for the imput,just got to find one now ha.

January 22, 201214 yr thats great thanks for the imput,just got to find one now ha. it was actually the 2003-on which were greatly improved however older versions are also very good and reliable! Edited January 22, 201214 yr by Andy

January 22, 201214 yr i have two of the 98 models! You greedy sod The 03 and 04 models are the same bikes apart from red/white plastics and represent the most refined(good suspension/engine pick-up) marks of the breed but I found the 97/98 models to be the most comfortable to ride. The triple clamps were changed (00?-04) to suit the plush Showa(rainbow) forks and I know of a few riders who felt that the bars were angled back towards the pegs which seemed to make things cramped for taller riders(and me,at 5'10'' but I don't bend zenees)... IMHO I can foresee us still riding these bikes in 20 years time when all that's left of their contemporaries is a photo Rose tinted glasses....or what?
