It's french... and it made sense to me
They're just using different tenses so the verbs look different.
It says the r6 threw the class into another dimension. The class is getting better. Honda recognized this and had to completely redesign it's 600, inspired by technologies from motogp. Honda was trying to get under the 190kg bar (with fluids). The engine will be entirely reworked - (they said tickling... I assume they meant fine tuning adjusting?). As a result Hondas future CBR could change the current hierarchie on the track - currently dominated by the triumph 650.

It never comes as a bomb-shell when one of the 600 supersport machines gets updates and improvements to make them more capable on the roadracing track. However both Yamaha R6 and Suzuki GSX-R 600 got some serious and radical changes in 2006. Not that we would ever think that Honda would go as radical as the R6 with Fly by wire and a complete redesign. But now that both Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha feature a slipper clutch as standard this is the first thing Honda will change on the 07 600RR. The current RR only weighs 163kg dry so Honda only have to shave off a couple of kilos by using new wheels, redesigned underseat exhaust and higher quality suspension to bring it to the standards set by the GSX-R and R6. Honda can either increase the rev-ceiling radically like the R6 or go the safe Honda route similar to the latest Fireblade. The benefits by not looking for an extreme redline on the roadbike is that Honda can adjust the midrange to be meatier than the rivalling R6 and be able to keep up with the K6 GSX-R600 and 2007 Kawasaki ZX-6R. None of the Japanese manufacturers will take too much notice of the 675 Triple yet as it is unlikely Triumph will stay competitive other than on the roads for the next few years. Technology and racing heritage is king in this class where Yamaha is leading the technology race whilst Honda leads the exotic HRC component trickery that allows them race win after race win. The 1395mm wheelbase could become even shorter in 2007 if Honda decides to use its electronic steering damper. The damper would allow for a more aggressive rake for super quick steering. The tall gearing will probably stay as it also helps with sound tests as well as preventing wheelies at the start line and in first gear corners on the racetrack. And finally more power as particularly Yamaha and Kawasaki are now claiming astronomical (that’s probably what they are too) figures including ice-cold ram-air feed. We would not be very surprised if the new claimed figure is between 5-10 more bhp.

Check out the attachment and see. Also there is a spot on the driver seat at the very front that I missed. You can see it plain as day.
It looks like someone put a 1000RR paint scheme on a 600RR rear end and then tried making it a cartoon blue.

I kinda like the "supposed" 07's. Maybe I am crazy. But, who knows.
