Ok,.....time to trawl the memory banks.
The first model year (03) 749 and 749S had identical 103bhp engines and chassis.The S benefitted from slightly better suspension.(Gold TiN coated forks and Showa shock,....749 had a Sach shock)Both bikes available as bip or mono,...yellow or red,frames in silver.
04 bikes were virtually identical,....just a few minor changes like the removal of the light switch.The S got an extra 7bhp.
749 Dark introduced with same suspension and engine as base 749 but non adjustable footrests and steering head.
Big changes in '05.Fairing changed with new wider screen and top vents removed.Differant shape front guard.New deep black alloy swingarm as on the R models.All bikes gained a few bhp's with the S now a claimed 116bhp.Red bikes had red frames,yellow bikes continued with silver frames.Dark model retained the cast swingarm.
06 MY bikes were technically identical to 05 bikes.Yellow was discontinued and gloss black now the alternative to red.
All model years had identical brakes.
