IE is iniezione elettronica (electronic ignition), they don't mention the fuel injection.
The S2R is a nice step up from the 620, I've got one and it's a nice ride. It's also got the classic thin tube frame, the stacked pipes and single sided swining arm give i a more modern edge. People do say the front calipers are a bit 'weak' which I've not really noticed but you can upgrade them if you want to (they aren't as aggressive as my 748's but then the 800 has infinitely lazier feel to it).
Don't sweat the maximum BHP, it's the torque you should look at ... A typical inline 4 has lots of power in BHP but much less torque, riding the monsters wide flat power curve is much more fun.
