Pre-2000 the 748 was available as either Biposto or SPS.
Post-2000 the 748 was available as E (same as Biposto), S or R.
E/Bip = three spoke gold wheels, gold frame
S = 5 spoke grey wheels, grey frame, TiN forks, SPS engine parts
R = 5 spoke grey wheels, grey frame, Ohlins forks & shock*, silly engine - Ti parts, overhead shower injectors, large capacity airbox, etc, etc
*except 2000 when some had Showa forks. |
I don't think antonye's right about the "E". i think by the time the "E" came out, they werre all grey frames and grey (3-spoke) wheels.
At any rate, "S" models were certainly available in biposto or monoposto form. But "S" bikes have Marchesinis and adjustable steering heads, which "E" bikes don't.
