after my first fourtrak

Forum: 

im sorry if this question is allways asked, i tried using the search function but couldnt find anything.

im after a fourtrak and have around 3k max to spend and was wondering what the difference in the fourtrak the newer they get, as in does the engine change or leaf/spring.
also how many different models are there e.g 78 and what does that mean.

any help would be great thanks
