	Yes, the EFI is smaller but functionally identical.

	The 2000 model has 18 teeth on the front sprocket, which has been
claimed to be slightly higher gearing than the 1999. I've not personally been
able to verify the gearing of the 1999. Also the clutch lever is a slightly
longer reach on the '99, shorter but stiffer on the '00. Either bike is
wonderful, though I'm kinda partial to the blue color of mine. If it's an early
'99 there may be a few recall issues (crankcase bolts, center stand, ignition
wiretie that should be removed), but by all accounts Triumph has been very good
about fixing these things. The fuel sender seems to still be an issue on even
the newer models, and the speedo is "overly optimistic" (reads about 11% fast
according to my calculations).

FWIW,
