Nhuahn and Quasi both went from 03 bikes to the new 05 and they both claim to love it (personally I think they are stuck with them now, so have to love them).. I've ridden a few 05 bikes, and I'm still more than happy to stick with mine. The power delivery on my 04 is a bit more raw than the 05, and while people are saying the 05 has more power, it's almost 'hidden', where as the 04 just rips it up and spits down the power. I prefer a beast over a pussy cat, not that the 05 is a pussy, not by far, I'm just still hung on the roar of the 04, which is something else that's been dulled a little on the 05 bikes.Originally Posted by John
I also prefer the shape of my bike over the 05s too, the 05s have a softer front, where as the 03/04 bikes are sharper in the lights and nose.
One thing I do like on the 05 over the 03/04 bikes is the slightly lower seating position, and the steering is a tad lighter and sharper on the 05s..
Nhuans bike is red. The 'burnt red' looks like orangey brown..
