701 Vs 401

[fetor56]

I have a 2022 Vit 401 and have put a deposit down on an interstate 2019 Vit 701 and was wondering is there anything i should be wary of ?
It seems like most cosmetic parts are interchangeable (dunno about FuelX lite yet) and i guess i'm looking for some reassurance that I'm not buying a big brother with bugs....no offence meant guys.
Comments welcome.

I have a 401 and 701, there really isn’t much that is the same… fit and finish is way better on the 701. The difference in performance is huge since the weight is similar but the power is alot higher on the 701.

"fit and finish is way better on the 701" I like the sound of that.
I have until Monday to get my deposit refunded so i'm gathering as much info as i can beforehand from people who have actual practical experience.
At this stage it seems more and more likely that I'll go through with this deal.....thank you.

I can see two recalls that i should be concerned about and i'll ask the dealer tomorrow about ALL recalls; when he's open.
I'll need to get the 701's VIN number.
Solid info yonsson.

I bought that 701 with 2038Km on the odo and since it's being shipped by the dealer from interstate it should get here in about one week.
Since their rare here my feeling is that their going to be a classic...now to polish to my specifications.
PS....Thanks to Yonsson it has previously undergone any and all possible defects.
