Besides the SSSA what are some of the differences regarding the 2002 Model and the 2003 Model of the Daytona 955i?

Thanks

2002~Standard Model 955i DBL Sided Swinger, 5.5" Rear wheel w/180 tire, ABS plastic upper fairing infill & Side Panels, and No Pass. Seat Cowl.

2003~SSSA, 6" Rear w/190 tire, Carbon fiber Upper & Side Panels, and Seat Cowl (I think?).

There is a little more than just the DSSA vs. SSSA.
Most inportant is that the DSSA has approx 3.5kg less un-spung weight which makes a huges difference in cornering and second (even more important) is that the DSSA is shorter than the SS. And a shorter wheel base makes it also more "flickable".
I had a '99 Daytona which looks horny like hell but for the rest... I'll take my 2002 WITH DSSA.
Then there is also a discussion going on about the stability but the owners who had both and push there bike to the limit (like I do) will all agree that the DS is more stable. Tracktime proves this.
