Hey everyone, haven't posted up in awhile; hopefully this bullshit called winter is over soon. I can't wait to get down to CMP in March but wish I was joining you lucky SOB's at Jennings. Anyway, I'm debating between keeping the 07 750 strictly a street bike and buying a cheaper 04 for the track or keeping it dual purpose. The 04 has valving done and a Penske triple shock and is considerably cheaper than my current ride which has stock suspension. Who's ridden both generations the 04/05 and the 06/07 600 or 750 and what did you think as a comparison. My 07 is pretty light and while not as flickable as an R6 feels pretty nimble, the 04/05's seem heavier to me even though the specs don't agree. And to further complicate things I was also debating the 06+ R6 for track only but am afraid of the motors. |

I had an 04 600 which I was not in love with. It feels a lot bigger than an 06/07. I don't think there is much in the way of actual weight difference but it just feels huge in comparison. It actually felt bigger than my R1. Mine was a good bike, till Eli wrecked it a few times  . But it would not be my first choice at all. I'd go the 06/07 route or an R6 07 on if you can swing it. Thought you were in love with the whole "cheater bike" 750 thing

On the 04/05's you have to watch out for the STVA problems with bad solder joints/connections. There are a few threads on the common gsxr forums. |

dont for get the 06-7 has a slipper from the factory, and larger front rotors it makes about 6 hp more (750 ) and 10 more (600) the suspension on the later models is better from the factory but if it isnt stock it dosnt matter jason |
