I think it just comes down to date of manufacture.
I don't know of any changes so far, but that's not to say there aren't any.
Congrats on the purchase.
The model year is given, in the VIN identification, by the letter or number just before the B followed by the 6 numbers representing the builder rank of the bike.
F is for 2015, if your bike has got a G, it's a 2016.
