    Euro regs dictate that the rear guards must go partway down covering the rear tyre.
    Hense the long skinny rear guards - kinda like a supermodel wearing a G-string as to not be considered porn

    There looks to be only subtle variations in the construction of the fairings, and a couple of small tweaks to the shape of various components fairing wise.

    I like!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    lol, fool. I'm going for the Euro colours, the white/red/black is much smarter this time around, and will be an easy change valencia 2006 colours!

    I think they should have kept the tail as all-white rather than having that black bit, but IMO the Red/white/black looks pretty smart, as does the Blue.

    Maybe you should cut your losses and get the R125 instead of an R6 bro (see second pic). If you ride it fast enough no one will know the difference!

    Damn. The red and white version isn't anywhere near as sexy as the 06

    It looks little different form 06/07 model. The Yamaha designers are getting lazy like Honda's. Still looks cool though.
