We won't know for sure until around September or so. I'd be nice if they add a slipper clutch & better brakes.

I'm gettin the 07 RR too. I've spoken to a honda r&d guy whose ridden the bike at a track in Japan. All he would tell me is that i would not be dissapointed by waiting.

I will seriously consider selling the wifes '03 600rr for the '07 because as mentioned, it WILL be a complete make-over from the '06.

Cannot wait to hear more about it come Sept / Oct.

Just getting a motorcycle license ? Why waste time on a slow a$$ 600 step up to the plate and get a liter bike. Don't forget to save a little for a beanie lid, tank top, board trunks, flip flops, and a camera mount and video camera .

^ Well my first bike is an R6 and for now it's great. I won't be going up the ladder for a long (I mean LOOOOONNNNGGGG time), but if you respect the bike you can start with a 600cc, althought its not the most ideal thing.

One thing is always protect yourself no mater what.

Why is it that the canadians think they're so much smarter than us americans? Maybe that's what happens when you watch too much hokey!

Oh.. and the French, while I'm at it.
