Can anyone give me some sort of comparison or the dirrerence between the '01 to the '02 model? I know the body is redisgned and its fuel injected now, but is it lighter? faster? What kind of HP stock to the wheel? Handling, riding position? Do any parts interchange from the '01 to the '02 model? Ohlins damper, rearsets, frame sliders? Both models still look a little similar to me. I've never owned a fuel injected bike and would like to know how different the power delivery is compared to a carbed bike. I have a good opportunity to trade up my red '01 for a red '02, but I just want to know all the little bits to help me decide. ANYONE PLEASE! THANKS

much better handling. feels more planted and less twitchy. power delivery very very smooth with FI. slightly more aggressive riding position. better oil sump and cooling ability. no more false oil sensor. about five more horses.

Night and day difference coming from carb to fuel injection.
