Its an accumulation of updates over the years. Pscook should have some real life feedback as I believe he's just made the change himself.
Engine and chasis wise there have only been minor updates and resvisions over the years. Improvements in fit and finish, subframe strength, peg mounts etc. Suspension wise I'd research some more and decide on what you want. They have come with everything from Sachs front and back through to Ohlins and Sachs, or Ohlins and 45mm Marzocchis, or with some 2011R models 48mm Closed Carts. Then you have the TTX options as well.
A new bike is good, but having just upgraded from my 2010 to a 2013, I'm reminded of how much time I have invested in setting up the old steed, and how much time and dollars is required to get the new one up to standard.
