Once

But I have my nice un-posted (and thus 50MPH) back roads.

The 3 is very similar to the 2. The differences are that the angled tubes on the side of the frame go the other way, and that it is a standardized international product (no US-specific stuff - even the beneficial changes that Brammo made were discarded).

The 1 had a higher amount of Rover parts (in particular, the engine). The turn/brake/marker lights on the 2 and 2 are still from a Rover (which is why they don't work).

The obvious way to tell a 1 from a 2/3 is to look at the air intake box. The box is a lot shorter and the frame hoop is higher.
