I too have heard the method of measurement was what generated the power difference.
I wonder why the pictured Fila has no stickers? It is as new, I went to see it, and the one in Abergele, it is as the Xerox was at Manchester. Different opinions and poor memory of dealers. The RR has a sticker set to be added 'if required', the Foggy rep did, so maybe.... Any way i will check the site as you suggest Triple9.

I like the idea of being able to have the lights off if i wish, not that i ever rode with them off when i had the option in the past. And i definately like the sound of the earlier bike having the carbon tail. The Xerox was 15k and the guy had it at Abergele for almost 18 before moving it to Manchester. So even 3 years older if that, the Fila seems the one. I like the red frame, so i couldn't get a standard early R as they were silver? Am i right?

Also i was told the later black swingarm fits straight onto the early bike? Was there an advantage for the later arm, and was there an advantage with the top fairing vent deletion?

Thanks for reply.
