I bought an 01 EV about 5 years ago. It had 70,000 miles on it but I got a good price and it was set up well with all the bags and a Swanee fairing. It had been sitting for a while so there were a few minor issues to fix. I now have 108,000 miles and it seems like it just keeps getting better and better. I recently bought a 2012 Norge (with the roller tappets) but I'm not letting go of the EV. I like riding each of them equally. The pictures I've seen on this thread looks like an 02. I think the 01 had different rims than the 02. Both are tubeless spolked rims but I like the 01's better. No crinkle paint on mine. Mine was over charging the battery but I finally found the source of the problem and I came up with a cheap and easy fix.
