02-06 was 990cc 4-strokes. 07-10 is/was/will be 800cc.
The 990's were exciting to watch too. Less injuries than the 500's, but you couldn't really control them, even with traction control, because they were putting down 260+ hp on a 2" contact patch. The 800's are putting out 200+ horsepower, but it's all at the top end, so traction control pretty much takes care of any possibility of high siding.
