And FB, that's a hot-looking bike. Almost too much motor for the frame, from what I've heard.
SP's have a full fairing and CR's have a half fairing. SP's have an aluminum swing arm, where the CR's are steel. SP's have Showa forks, CR's have Marzochi's.

Update on my bike: A couple of weeks into ownership, I have only failed to ride it on two different days. I continue to be just flat amazed by this machine. Now that I'm getting familiar with it and its handling and manners are becoming ingrained in my sub conscious, I'm finding it is every bit an "early 911" of the motorcycle world. It does what I'm thinking without me really having to tell it to, very effortlessly and intuitively. I'm really looking forward to getting to know it even better, and to become as familiar with it as my Porsche and two HD's. It's fitting right in and fulfilling the role I envisioned for it quite handsomely.
