Mrs egg got a 2004 , 749S last october (sounds silly but t's true) after her 2003 one was written off my a blind bint in a cavalier
The bike is not run in yet (the weather has been really crap here in Aberdeen for months now) but the engine does seem to rev a little easier than the old model , a lighter crank is supposed to be the reason for this.
There are a few other changes , the headlights now come on with the ignition , there is no switch , also the running light on the screen is now smoked and not as noticable as before.
You may be able to get a 2003 model slightly cheaper , I think only biposto's are available , all the mono's sold out ages ago.
