Thread jack in session....I will revive the thread when I know more about the bikes in the next couple of days.

I am hoping to see the 06 on Wednesday and I am meeting 03 friend that night.

I like the blue. I'm just not sure if I'd like a naked no windshield bike as a daily rider. Maybe BIG city and little highway usage.

The frames on the newer ones are a lot spiffier looking than the old tube ones.

I answered on fb...

the valves have to be checked by a pro - and it's only maintenence you'll have to do on either bike, won't make or break a sale.

check tires, chain, brake pads, that sort of 'consumable' thing - things you'll have to replace sooner or later - if it's sooner on one and later on another, add replacement to the cost.

06.

The blue will grow on you, it kind of color changes with different light.

Have around 15K on my 05 right now, no issues.
