05 repsol vs. 07 repsol
I just sold my 929 and am thinking about a Repsol. What is the difference between the 05 and 07. Is it worth saving a little bit of money and going with the 05 or pay a little extra to get the 07 cause it is that much better? I did a search and didnt find a topic about it. hopefully this doesnt come off as a stupid question.

RE: 05 repsol vs. 07 repsol
there is no difference in the same year repsol and non repsol bike
Soooooooooooooooo
look up comparisons between normal 04/05 bikes and 06/07 bikes
personally the 06 and higher is lighter,
bigger brakes
heavier fork springs for 190ish lb rider compared to the lighter springs on the 04/05
better valve train
higher rpm
the list goes on and on

Well, both are fast bikes. I actually prefer the looks of the '05 over the '07, but they are both awesome bikes. There are a few '05 and '07 Repsols for sale over on http://www.repsolforum.com. There's even a Repsol owned by a Repsol exec that was actually signed by Nicky Hayden. I could get you a great deal on that bike for sure.

its not about how many mphs the bike will go. its about reliability, handling, and stopping
the 07 is more reliable (no 04/05 stator problem
handles better because of the improved suspension (it comes with the 500 dollar HRC link upgrade that you can get for the 04/05 stock) not to mention the better springs. plus a slightly longer swingarm
and stops better because the brakes are 320mm compared to the 310s of the older ones

RE: 05 repsol vs. 07 repsol
I just went on a Xmas Toy Rally with my Repsol and parked mine beside an 05
In looks , alone I find the 07 sexier. But thats personal choice.
One thing I did do , is take off the rear pillion pegs. They seemed to break up the smooth lines of the bike.
Either way , you will not be unhappy.
