OK if you wait 2 more releases there are likely to be more changes. The CBR 600RR has changed every two years. The 08 600 is likely to be the same bike as the 07, though I expect there will be a slipper clutch (that's just me) in 08. The 09 will likely be another redesign. The 08s will be out soon, with the 07s enjoying extremely high sales, and no one is reporting manufacturing problems beyond buzzing from the plastic and other typical Honda issues (like sticky clutches while stopped) from the 07s. The engine redesign seems to be limited to materials changes and changes to size and shape of the components. All relatively solid stuff that, if it were broke, we would have heard about. No big new computerized throttle controls like Yamaha has been working on or any other 22nd century stuff that would really complicate the bike. Still using proven technologies but with lighter, stronger materials and more efficient organization of components, and improved manufacturing techniques. The same can be said for the adjustments to the frame.
Yeah, I would say that we should avoid the YZF-R1s until they fix that 5500rpm 2nd gear throttle fizzle, hopefully by '08. But the '07 600RR is a safe bet, and now is the time of year to get a deal on one.
And I am not so sure I understand where you are coming from calling the question retarded. I thought it was a kind of a good one. And the three question marks after the 03 in your 2nd-to-last post make that sentence totally incomprehensible. Was that sentence a statement with the question marks thrown in as kind of an emoticon? Or were they actually intended to cast doubt on what you were saying? Frankly the whole post comes pretty close to gibberish. And in your last post, what does your 06 600RR have to do with anything? I mean, what are you getting at?
Scatterbrain: Thanks for your informed, relevant response.

By the way to anyone who cares the Honda seems to pull harder than thegsxr in the bottom and lower high rpm band. The gsxr bogs down a little more in the bottom but seems to spool a little faster in the middle of the higher rpms. I especialy note the difference when my wife and myself are on the bike together. Also to anyoe who wants to know they are both 06's I think the cbr will win off the line but the gsxr revs 1 thousand rpm's more 17vs18000 rpms so what I gain off the line is retrieved cause you can hold the gear for a split second longer. bottom line when its all said and done they come out dead even. Now toeveryone that wants to ask questions please read through the other post there are oooooodles of pages and the freaking will my cbr beat a gsxr or will my modded older cbr beat a cbr will my cbr beat a lamborgini frick frack F*ck rea the f*ing post.

I can't decide which video I want to see more when I get to heaven: God parting the Red Sea for the Israelites; or a Ninja 250 smoking a literbike's bags.

+1 . ive had my 06 f3 to the track and beaten 1k rrs and such through the tight stuff. it has alot to do with the rider. my 58 year old father on his "out dated" rc 51 spanks the crap out of damn near anyone he comes across. and its an '01450 lb 120 hp v twin.next, im getting real tired of spending what time i have not getting blown up and shot at listening to youpeople argue over whether someone new has posted the same question.it takes less time and energy to answer the question than to bitch about it. then after you bitch about it you argue about having to answer the same question twice. ifyou dont want to answer it then dont answer it. holy crap.

Thanks for all the info, especially CBRFREEK and baileyjn.It's nice to know atleast the majority of thepeople on here will answer a question and not complain!! I looked for '07 info and couldn't find what i was looking for.I didn't think the '07 was that much different but its nice to know for sure. I keep telling them they don't stand a chance till they learn to ride, but they won't believe me, lol. I'll get them to go to the track in a few weeks and show 'em some honda tail.
Thanks, Will
Thanks, Will
