Default 97 gsxr 600 vs. 2k1 gsxr 600

Hi first of all i have a gsxr600 97 runs good great shape and everything. ive been wanting to get a newer one and yesterday i drove a friends 2k5 gsxr600 and im not for sure if its cause im use to mine but what i have feels better to ride on. What ive been looking at is a 2001 whats everyones opinions on the differences. I know carbs to injection is the main thing. So how does the 97's compaired to the 2001 along with the 2001's compair to a 2005. Does the 2001 have a steering damper shock cause that was something i wasnt use to at all on the new one. Thanks
O if anyone wants to know id be selling mine and adding 1500 to get the newer one and it has pretty much the same mods.

thanks again
