Mood: is it the weekend yet??
04 999 S v's 05, 05 has new swingarm ( approx £1100 ), new top fairing/screen (not sure on price but it should be possible to retro fit) comes with race exhaust but I think it steel version which can be bought for about £1000. Think 05 might have radial brakes as well. I've just been through this decision and went for 04 because the saving over a new 05 was so big ( £4000 ), I'd have been pushed to affiord 05 S but now have the bike and can upgrade if I have spare cash. Price I got it at would allow me to put 05 swingarm on and go part way to the fairing against a base spec 999 dealer price never mind an S.
