Re; Strada vs SP
As Keefy says, the SP has an oil cooler - Strada doesn't. It also has Ohlins upside-down forks (and rear damper) and a polished aluminium (rather than steel) subframe beneath the seat unit. SPs have fully floating 'loose' disk brakes too (which rattle something awful when the bike is pushed!) Exhaust downpipes are 45mm on SP (42mm on Strada). SP has drilled clutch cover.
If you're still unsure though, find a quiet 'B' road somewhere and cane the engine. Strada will roughen @ 9-10,000rpm. If its an SP the steering will go extremely light, and it'll hit 11,000rpm quicker than you can say "bl*****dy 'ell!"
