    so what's the main differences? Is it just the fairing or is there a performance advantage to the F2.

    I'm looking at buying an F2 as a spares bike and am wondering if there are any components I should swap over..

    I believe it was simply aesthetics - fairings only. And the wheels I think were different, but same tire size.

    I believe that the only difference are the full fairing and rims - both of which I really like. There was another thread going around not too long ago that was also trying to get to the differences, but they weren't fully answered. I like to know if there were any engine differences.

    if you buy this parts bike would you be willing to sell the fairings?
