Sorry - misread the post! Yep, only the 2005 999S has Ohlins/radials/Termis.

2004 999S - Ohlins all round, non radial Brembo serie Oros. Mono or Bip in red or yellow. 136bhp (claimed)

2005 999 - Showa all round with Ti Nitrade forks, non radial Brembo serie Oros. Mono in red only. Bip in red or black. 140bhp (claimed). 999R swingarm.

To be honest, engines will be near enough identical spec.

Ditto.

Now check out what's more expensive... a swingarm like the one on all 05 models have (like the one on 04 R) or the Ohlins?
Ah.... and where will you use the bike mostly?? If it's on the street then you won't notice that much the Ohlins difference.

So i say..... get a 2005 999S
