04/05 GSXR 600 VS 06 GSXR 600

[howlieboy]

All the guys that moved from a 05 GSXR 600 to the 06 GSXR 600 what do you think?

I currently have a well set up 05, but rode my buddies 06 and like everything better.  Handling, power, power deliver.  I didn't want to crash his bike, so I didn't get down to the same times, but it sure felt good. 

On average, how much faster, if at all, is everyone on their 06's?  Anything they didn't like as well?  Money is definately a factor, otherwise it'd be a done deal.  Is it worth it to upgrade?

Thanks Kurt

Out of the box the bike makes 7hp more right off the bat.

It's a really good bike, handles better and more power.

I'll have a bunch of AMA spec Supersport 600's for sale in 6 weeks after the last AMA national.
