Default 08 800 HO, Non HO???

My dealer says all the 08 800's are HO's
but some of them dont have HO on the bike.
Is this true??

That is what my dealer told me too. I don't think that will be the case for 08s. I think that is true only for 07 and 06.

I have an 07 and my dealer told me that all 07s are HO even though they are not marked as such. He said that in 08 they would again have HO and non HO models.

Being a rookie, what does HO or not HO stand for?

I wonder if the dual exhaust has anything to the H.O. What is different between my 06 800 with dual exhaust and an 08 800 with dual exhaust. Cam, compression, fuel dilivery, etc?
