Hey, im pretty new to street bikes.. and to the forums. I am planning on saving some money for a good down payment and buying a 05 CBR600RR after the winter instead of buying one after the summer and letting it sit all winter. My question is, Is there going to be much difference between the 2005 and 2006 CBR600RR's? I love the tribal 05RR and that's the one i am planning on getting. I was just curious if there is anything you guys know about that and differences between the 06's when they come out and the 05's

Thanks!
Brett

The trend seems to be that the factories are making upgrades every two or three years. I think it is safe to say the 06's will be very similar to the 05's except for maybe paint schemes but no one knows for sure. There is always the chance that Honda will introduce the V-5 in the 600 class.

Just hope they will still have them after the winter, usually the dealers only have leftovers of what people dont want.

Do you think it would be very hard to find a slightly used one if i cant find any from a dealer?

You will be able to find one. Around here I have seen a couple of cases when a guy buys a 600 then after just a few hundred miles want to upgrade to liter bike.

I say go get the Tribal as soon as possible. All of them look good but the tribal 600 always get another two or three extra looks. Yeah you guessed it I do have and that was the reason I bought it was of the tribal graphics. If you do get one be sure to carry a stick to keep the droolers at bay.

On the honda site.. they still have the 04 listed, im guessing you can still buy them?.. my point is.. would they still sell 05 tribal's at the beginning of next season?

i know it sounds like a dumb question, but i dont know the answer lol

you may be able to have a dealer "special" order an 04 in 05... or an 05 in 06... or an 06 in... ok ok you get the point. It all depends on what has changed on the bike, and if they are still producing them... which they should be.

You might be able to ask your dealer now... so you dont miss out later... it would suck to think "they will prolly do that" and get stuck with a goped w/ the tribal scheme, all cause your dealer cant special order them in :P

good luck, and dont take my words TOOO seriously, as Im new to this stuff too... just got my first bike (03 600 rr... white/silverish) and am still learning, everytime I take it out.... whatever you get, respect it. dont be "afraid", jus give it some breathing room, untill you reach a point where you can choke the living S*** out of it :P
