500R yearly difference

Is there any significant spec difference between the 2007, 2006, and 2005 models ??

Also, were there any significant improvements on this model since 2000 ??

Thanks ahead of time !!

I have not critiqued the difference, but the factory service manual does have supplements in one manual that covers 1994-2007. Most likely color changes

From what I see, not just the EU models hd although I still have only glimsed at the manuals and cannot stay too long on just one topic in KF. So that is another add to list item.
