croc-man, i really like your style. you take no prisoners...
as far as i've read, the american 748r's of 2001 and 2002 got the öhlins steering damper. us europeans had to suffice with the ol' bicycle pump.
i've owned a 2000 748r a few years ago and now also a 2001 748r, as i couldn't stay away anymore.
the 2000 yr model had no number plate on the steering head. the 2001 and 2002 yr models do. as goes with the öhlins front and back, 4 pot calipers and carbon fiber airbox.
i seem to remember the 2001 yr model also had another frame up-date, but can't remember where i got that from. ??? or was that just the airbox making the whole frame stiffer?
i had my 2000 yr model on a reference dyno bench, and she put out just a sneeze less than 100 bhp on the rear wheel with an open (supplied by the factory) exhaust and the factory-adjusted chip (which would suggest something like 110 bhp in the engine).
