Roughly 6 - 8 months ago, depending on what part of the world you are in.
The older motors are the Gen 4 and the newer motors the Gen 5.
Newer Gen 5 motors have a new design crankshaft, new cooling head, some slight changes to the crankcase and an all black carb. All Gen 5 motors come with turbo head button as standard too.
Performance is very similar, but I have heard that the new crank design is superior on the Gen 5's and that they lend themselves to being modified a little better.

anyone...?
hey guys,
after years with R&B motors i decided to try the R217PT, just because i'm curious. i've heard so many good things about them.
my question would be which pipes can you recommend on this engine? i know there is a motorbox with a go-pipe included, but are there any other pipes worth to try? (e.g. the ae/tt 2035, which suits to quite a lot of engines...)
thx in advance!
