u must but it doesnt matter. no one realy kills it on one any ways. with the exception of scary gary. and u say the world. who else said these dont need sprockets?

 

i meant no one thinks theyre underpowered, everyones opinion on sprockets is personal preference but any rider with any skill certainly doesnt "NEED" a big *** sprocket, they just prefer one and its normally those who rarely or never ride the streets. and no one kills it on an 05/06? id say differently..
Jorian
dan jackson
manny
joe dryden
alex flores
guru(comming soon)
bubash (had one)
ac farius.... should i keep going?

 

i am no pro but.. i always heard to learn on the stock gearing first then its good to regear. im still on stock gearing on my 04 n its doin everything iv tried so far. i heard when you put the big sprocket in the back itll come up easy but the engine breaking gets stronger to so its like a double edge sword...

 

lets get to this list,dan is gay and wants a 03-04 ,get into jorian, yes hands down, manny, ok but def not killin in my terms, joe is my boy but hes still just rockin basic tricks, except for his stoppies wich i never had a complaint about on this bike. flores kills it but no tank tricks (hint hint, this is my biggest complaint of the bike)guru hasnt even rode his yet so we will leave him out. bubash had one and now rides a 03-04 if that tells u anything and he will tell u it is the best of the kawis, and ac is just ac, he can kill a ****** scooter. now should into the list of people REALLY killin it on a 03-04 because it is much longer. like i said ive rode every model and i own both 05-06 and 03-04 and the 05-06 is a piece of **** compared to the 03-04. stronger idle, more low end power, a stronger subframe. better tank, still just as good of stoppie bike, plus you dont have to worry about a programmer just to make it run right when u change the exhaust

 

my experience is that the 05 06 on stock exhsaust pulls harder then an 03 04.

 

mine is completely different, everyone i rode did not pull that hard, and several with stock exhuast, ive even rode CRAZY DANS and his **** is pimp as **** and runs perfect and none of them have the idle of the first gen at least my **** idles like a dam diesel:YEAH

 

i like the 03 04 for a full fairing bike cause there is room to flip and turn out the clipons and like you said i like the subframe on the 03 04 is better because it's stronger but if i ever decided to go street fighter i would get the 05 06

 

you might as well shoot yourself in the foot before u get a 05 because thats what u will be doin to your riding

 

nah tony prez has on and i love it

 

you forgot to take your meds again huh. i keed i keed

 

well im short too so that is probably one reason i like it

 

Just to stir the pot up a bit.

Everytime Tony rides an 03-04 he swears he's going to get rid of his 05-06

Then reality sets in and he realizes he's a glamma stunna and could NEVER ride a bike that old but still wants one lol

 

this would def help, and NAGS,lol, thats what im sayin, second gen ones are GAAABAAAGE. anyone who rides a secon gen one wants a first gen one secretively

 

oh and 06 is the new hotness last time i checked its 2008 so either way hes outdated

 

stock for stock I like the 03-04 better.. I rode Tony's 05-06 for the first time in NJ the day before he pancaked it and hated it. But his was so ghetto rigged it's hard to make a solid opinion based off that one.

It was very weird to wheelie.. On my f4i if I'm doing something on idle.. I can clutch the bike up and just get off the gas and count on the idle to bring it back the rest of the way. His 05-06 wouldn't do that for ****. I had to bring it way past balance point and ease off the brake to catch it

 

Oh trust me.. He bitches all the time that he's riding such an old bike. He's been dying to get the 08. He was going to trade Bubash in Ohio the day after NY, but we all know how that worked out lol

 

lol yeah the didnt go so well did it. i dont like the 08 but he might, hes just a wee bit shorter than i

 

well the 07 08 are garbage

 

They look awesome

 

i agree with the looks but in our sport i believe its still form over function, at least for now
