Those that can compare or indeed know......What are the differences between 15/16 and 17/18 models? Apart from colour etc

Euro4.

New ECU features which mean you can't fit PCV's (working O2 sensor requirement)
ABS Pro (cornering ABS) on Rain and Sport mode - by default - it came on some '16's too.
Less power lol

Really? *sad face* how much we talking? These things are animals!
You have more Torque though!

Ah now I can go out with a clear mind. Everyone knows the torque biscuits are the most important.
To my knowledge, the Gen 1 RR?s had the greatest peak power.
However, due to reliability issues in racing and in an attempt to smooth out the power curve the RR?s have gradually lost peak power yet gained midrange torque, resulting in a more linear power delivery.
The Euro 4 bikes from MY 2017 onwards have had ?a bit? of a power loss vs 2015/2016 Gen 3?s due to the more restrictive exhaust, and I believe there was an engine modification to improve durability which also resulted in a slight power loss.
@RyS1000RR @alex can you confirm this?
Regardless of dyno figures, all RR?s are epically quick, so I really wouldn?t worry [emoji4]

Fully agree
So the difference between gen3 and 17/18 is negligible, 4yrs of much the same.
10 months for the '19.... :sleeping:

The ECU is very different. But for all its new power its just trying minimise the Euro4 losses. These aren't changes an owner can really appreciate.
The Gen3 exhaust change was for torque I thought. It waa only a couple of mm's.
