Don't know about the wheels, but do know that the '03 is due a big service at 24,000 if it hasn't already had one. If a dealer does it, it could eat up the difference in price. You're in for a treat, whichever you buy.

Hey kingdomstyle !! its a tough one that only you can answer !!  :?

if yer headin for the dirt, spokes are best suited for that !! if it were me i'd have the 06 as i'm never in the dirt apart from tracks to campsites  :oops:

good luck !!

I had a similar choice when I bought mine last year. I opted for the earlier model because I prefer the spoke wheels, black frame and black Tiger stripes.
Not that any of these make any difference to how they ride.

I'd buy the '06 with the cast wheels. No tube tires for me!
