    Based upon the VIN list, yes it is an F model. I personally do not know the differences between an E and an F. I believe the ones that exist are fairly subtle.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      The E has the hotter timing curve for more poop, tube wheels and a sealed-beam headlight. The F got tubeless wheels but later in the production year; some early models still had tube type, all had a detuned motor and a halogen headlight. Different colors/graphics too....

      There's a few other minor differences, but nothing that matters.
      Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
