Do you think its a good idea to buy a 05 repsol new for 11700, or buy the new 06 1000rr? ANy body know when the release is suppose to be?

 

Personal choice methinks, but if its anything like the UK your not gonna see the 06 model in dealers till April/May so that may have a factor in whether you can wait for it.

 

The Repsol is a great looking bike and for that price its a steal. Honda only made the Repsol for 2005 also. Next year's 1krrs have so many improvments its unreal and also makes it a hard choice and may also cost more. They have more horses better brakes less weight, etc, etc... Good luck with your choice.

 

dang thats a hell of a long time for the 06's to come out. but they sound so nice too. But i really cant wait, so i think i might go and get the repsol. dude at the dealer was like yeah you better hurry in if you want this one (repsol). They just got it into the shops a few days ago. I might just go a check it out today. i am noobie to motorcycles anyway, so i might not notice any of the differences? but those new colors are nice on the 06's.

 

Man, 2005 Repsol is a limited production, I think they only have this special edition this year. Like I said it's a limited production, get it while you still can. I just got mine a month ago and I love it.

 

You should put money down to hold a 06 and get the new technology. The Repsol is nice but the 06 sounds like it is a vast improvement over 04 and 05.

 

yeah the 06 has a lot of new gadgets but i dont think i can wait six months. im ready to get a bike right now. and again im a noobie to bikes so i dont think i will miss anything.....yet?

 

If you're that new then you might want to reconsider displacement -- 1000cc's is a bit much for an experienced rider -- not a lot of forgiveness built in.

 

personally id like to get the newest badass japanese bikes. but id go for older italians.

 

Ya, those beeyatches can cook!!
