currently have an 07 and my buddy is looking for a cbr600rr too (prefered 07-08) but came across a 2006 with only 500 miles for a good price...what is the difference between the 06 and the 07 models? I tried a quick search but came up with not much--I found out the colors are different[sm=thanx.gif]

 

If he has the funds and it will not financially set him back go with the '07. Here is a list I found and posted up in an earlier topic.

A completely redesigned bike. Brochure material... More powerful engine then the '06 witha new 2 stage ram-air system, Lighter pistons, andnew connecting rods. Lighter bike due toa revolutionary newFine Die Cast (FDC) chassis which is constructed from 4 pieces instead of eleven likein '06. (16 pounds lighter)Electronic Steering damper which I personally love (being a newer rider) The '07 compared to the '06 hasa shorter wheelbase by .9 inches,Tighter Rake by .3 degrees, and a longer Trail by .1 inches.

Here's a list of changes I found at totalmotorcycle.com

- Smaller, lighter, more compact inline four-cylinder engine.
- Improved midrange performance and enhanced peak power.
- Significant weight reduction in engine and chassis.
- Repositioned transmission shafts within crankcase allow for shorter engine.
- New lightweight, forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added toughness.
- Lightweight magnesium head cover.
- New, single exhaust valve-springs.
- Smaller, lighter neodium magnet ACG.
- New transmission gear ratios.
- Smaller, lighter clutch.
- New front-brake vertical-piston master-cylinder system.
- Lighter weight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust features new inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance.
- New intake-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
- New non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-speed operation.
- New nose-mounted ram-air induction directs fresh, cool air to a higher-volume airbox.
- New smaller and lighter Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD).
- Newly designed Fine Die-Cast (FDC) frame uses four large castings for lighter weight.
- Improved mass centralization.
- Redesigned radiator with compact dimensions improves cooling capacity.
- All-new bodywork enhances handling and performance.
- Handlebars raised 10mm for improved rider comfort.
- Center of gravity revised for more neutral response and easier side-to-side flickability.
- New, compact instrument design.
