I count half-ribs on top of cylinders, 5 or 7.

There are many differences. These include the following easy to recognize differences: spark plug covers, one vs. two hoses going to front brake caliper, and clutch master cylinder on handlebar.

Hard to tell, when the 1800 is so far out in front. Then again, that is another way to tell what it is, LOL.

Different right side crankcase covers. 1300 flatter, more rounded. 1800 looks more like it was formed from a small flat tapered side bowl.

Yes, the multi=piston calipers are bigger too.
