Does anyone know specific differences between the 04 600rr and the 06?

Right now I have found 2 good deals on each of the bikes and am not sure what to go after.

Are their any specific flaws that stand out between the 2? Some "bug" that the bike is well known for?

 

The differences between the 04 and the 06 are mainly cosmetic differences. The biggest difference is the 06 has inverted forks. The 04 (imo) has ugly air intakes on the front cowl, the 06 does not. I think the 04 has a different exhaust tip and exhaust guards than the 06. Also the 3rd eye on the 04 is in between the upper fairing and the windscreen and on the 06 the 3rd eye is part of the upper fairing. Other than these few things the bikes are identical and as far as I know there are no real bugs or issues but I am not very familiar with that gen RR so maybe someone else can be of more help.

 

From wikiworld.

"In 2005, the CBR600RR received a major revision with new bodywork, fully adjustable inverted front forks, race-inspired disc brakes with radial-mounted four-piston calipers, and an entirely new aluminum frame, swingarm and rear shock. The midrange power was also increased. These changes along with additional refinements to the engine and exhaust system all came together to bring CBR600RR's wet weight down by 22 lb (10.0 kg), and dry weight by 9 lb (4.1 kg) Except for new color schemes, the 2006 model was unchanged from the 2005 model."

 

Thanks, looks like there were a lot of big changes made to the 2nd model. I will definitely be going after the 06
