Being that these two years have seen no change other than colour I would like to get some opinions. I don't think I could own the red,white and blue model for '07, so I need to decide between saving $1'500 on a white '06 or getting the red '07. Some opinions would be great to help with this decision.
sounds like you have already made the decision in your post... $1500 goes a long way toward gear, and one year is no difference. Over half of us on this board ride bikes 5+ yrs old and do so proudly... Mine is 8 years old and going strong. If you decide to go even older, I can help you find a 5th gen. I know of two locally.
