Can someone please tell me the differences between the 2000 and 2001 F4s, assuming there were any changes? Thank you.

The specs are the same for the MV F4 S save for a software revision which has allowed the mono version of the bike to gain a little power. The big difference is for the SPR and the Senna Editions. The SPR and Senna bikes uses Mahle high compression pistons and a slightly modified head and valvetrain. According to MV there will be a kit to upgrade earlier bikes, in the same way that Ducati offers a Ducati Performance offering. Additionally the exhaust on the SPR and Senna bikes are freer flowing.
