'Formula' is not a year, it's just their custom made version. They even have the Roadie version with the same name I think Mr Kawasaki has one, I also remember seeing the MTB version in my searches on retrobike.
Can only think the reason for buying it is if the geometry fits you as well, or looks interesting, else the prestige is pretty much the same ?

Will have to pop over again with camera and get a full compliment of pics.
