I have been looking for hours for a site referencing the year to year changes in the speed triple. In particular years '99 through 2005. There has to be a site out there that lists, at a glance, the changes that occurred each year.
Cool, that is what I was looking for. So, it looks like I would perhaps be better off looking at a '02-03 for a little added kick over the '01 I am currently looking at.
It appears that the '04 is rated higher than the current models. Is it all due to the brakes? I'd think that the higher power output would put more smiles on a riders face......
The S3's have so much torque, you won't really notice the increase in power between the '01-04's. It all comes down to how much you want to spend, and what bike does it for you.
