I am in the hunt for a new bike soon. I have seen some pretty good low mileage 06' and 07' cbr's here locally for a good price.
So my question is what is the difference between the 06' and the 07' other than the appearance?

There is a lot of difference between the two years. The '07 is basically a redesigned bike. Do a search on this forum as well as the Web in general and you will see what I mean. Whether you will like it, is up to you. I have an '07 and love it!

Like said before ... A completely redesigned bike. Brochure material... More powerful engine then the '06 with a new 2 stage ram-air system, Lighter pistons, and new connecting rods. Lighter bike due to a revolutionary new Fine Die Cast (FDC) chassis which is constructed from 4 pieces instead of eleven like in '06. (16 pounds lighter) Electronic Steering damper which I personally love (being a newer rider) :) The '07 compared to the '06 has a shorter wheelbase by .9 inches, Tighter Rake by .3 degrees, and a longer Trail by .1 inches.
Here's a list of changes I found at totalmotorcycle.com
- Smaller, lighter, more compact inline four-cylinder engine.
- Improved midrange performance and enhanced peak power.
- Significant weight reduction in engine and chassis.
- Repositioned transmission shafts within crankcase allow for shorter engine.
- New lightweight, forged-aluminum pistons incorporate special shot peening for added toughness.
- Lightweight magnesium head cover.
- New, single exhaust valve-springs.
- Smaller, lighter neodium magnet ACG.
- New transmission gear ratios.
- Smaller, lighter clutch.
- New front-brake vertical-piston master-cylinder system.
- Lighter weight stainless steel four-into-one exhaust features new inline-exhaust valve to control exhaust pressure for maximum performance.
- New intake-air control valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
- New non-resonance knock sensor maintains optimum spark advance while constantly monitoring combustion performance during mid- to high-speed operation.
- New nose-mounted ram-air induction directs fresh, cool air to a higher-volume airbox.
- New smaller and lighter Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD).
- Newly designed Fine Die-Cast (FDC) frame uses four large castings for lighter weight.
- Improved mass centralization.
- Redesigned radiator with compact dimensions improves cooling capacity.
- All-new bodywork enhances handling and performance.
- Handlebars raised 10mm for improved rider comfort.
- Center of gravity revised for more neutral response and easier side-to-side flickability.
- New, compact instrument design.
