Are The Factories Any Different From Year to Year?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've decided I want a new bike and it should be a Factory this time around or something with Ohlins front and rear. Therefore, is there much or any difference between the model years since the Factory was produced? I have seen them advertised as 03 onwards and was wondering if I would get anything that was significantly better by being an 04, 05 or 06 model. I don't particularly want to buy a new one again.
Any opinions regarding these models will be taken with interest since I'll probably be spending money I don't have.

	I've been looking for a RSV too and to be honest the 2006 RSVR appears to be the best bet as it comes with the radial brakes, Ohlins front forks and OZ wheels. It's almost as if they robbed the Factory parts bin!! Scotty[}:)]

	I don't think the wheels are oz. Just heavier copies on the rsvr. The factory has forged wheels.
