On the latest EPA certification list, these are still listed as manufactured by Pioneer, and since it is such a pain to put a brand new engine/bike through testing, not to mention time, so there would most certainly be a gap between bikes had there been a new engine. SSR has been getting these certified year after year for a few years now (it is easier to keep renewing the certificate annually than having a gap in production), so these would be the tried and true XF250 we all know and love!
dh--if you have time, call Kronik Racing. He has an interesting opinion on the quality of the engines in spite of what I mentioned about you and your bike.
