Just curious to know, is there any difference between the 2004 and 2005 model year for the r1150r? I own a 2005, my friend wants a new one as well, but likes the titan silver, which I heard they don't offer anymore.

Not as close as the '02!

The 04's have 10 more HP, 8 more ftlbs of torque, & are 15 lbs lighter. At least so I've been told.
