From my research its basically the same machine except its fuel injected, which i'm told raised it to the 680. I'm told its faster all the way around - top and bottom, how much I couldn't tell you. But based on what I've seen it doesnt look any different and didn't feel any different. I think its got all disc brakes. For me there wasn't enough difference to justify, but my Rincon is perfect cond. If it was beat or tired I would go for it. Hope that helps? I'm sure theres more people here that know more about it than I do.
