The 07 is a completely different bike than the 06 and better in every way. It would take too long to tell you the differences, so just go research it.

Yea i had a 04 600 rr a couple years ago. I'm planning on pickign up a 07 this year. it's a much smaller bike. easier to handle for a shorter guy like myself.

it just that its amazing that the 07 CBR 600RR weighs 345 LBS dry and a 2009 kawasaki ninja 250r weighs 374 LBS dry. I used to have the 09 250r and put about 4000 miles and sold it. i was thinking about getting another 250r but the CBR is just better in every way and even lighter!!! I just cant believe it!!

I'm going to look at a couple 07s tomorrow. Any tips on what I should look out for in a used bike with 9000km on it?

For everyday riding, the vibration can make my hands/feet go numb. And my wrists will hurt if I haven't ridden it in a while.
But it absolutely rocks on the track.
It's super light and easily maneuverable in either situation. The seat is very comfortable, and the narrow chassis fits me perfectly.

I can't think of anything specific to look for on the bike, beyond anything you'd look for on any other sportbike.

The 07 was fun as hell! I saw around 47-49 mpg mixed spirited driving to just driving normal. From other riders i knew, they didn't like the ride style. The f4i had (supposedly) a more comfortable ride while the 600RR was more aggressive in rider stance. To be completely honest the most i could ride straight was about 2 1/2 hours but that included a strained neck, ass, and shoulders for a few days.

Corners like dream too!

Biggest mistake I've made was selling it well under value to go to college. Sell price was what I had left on the loan...
