No, I needa remove it from my tag. Sold it for medical/ dental bills. Had a forum friend who had an R6s forever, he traded for a new R6, then totalled it. He needed a good no finance ride and I needed to shake off some small bills so...

I think my year Kawi has Nice lines...I'll agree they went from Curvy Lines to Rugged Hard angles on there bikes...But it really isnt THAT bad.

Hell I'd rather see em change there styles up more often than roll with the same shit year in and year out like Suzuki and Honda.

My buddy has a 2006 636. I do believe the 07/08 has a much nicer shape. The nose, the tank, the tail.... just love the shape. And I like the small headlights better. And the ergos fit me better than any current ss...

But I completely know what you mean. I used to love the 600RR back in gen 1, and into gen 2. Gen 3 was too naked for my tastes, and by gen 4.... I just want something new! The R6 is getting close. Hopefully the R6 will be turned over by the '12 model.

I felt that way about them all. Really for me to commit to purchase a certain machine and I also have a real sentimental side. I mean you look at that bike and all the memories, all the events just stick with it. Seeing it or another like it is like seeing an old flame.

Yea, other than "minor" tweeks in looks and engine. I think the R6 has gotten better looking since 06. I think the 600RR has gotten shittier looking since 05....
