The IE bit means it's an injected engine and controlled by a computer ECU unit, rather than carburetteurs.

The newer bikes are all IE models.

Don't know about Monsters, but with the Supersports, 1999 saw the introduction of the new shape fairings, for 750 and 900 models, and it was also the year of computer controlled injection. Older SS bikes are all carb models, and with the slab side fairing shape.
