I agree, I wouldn't change my front to the newer if I could. As long as a bike has 2 head lights and not one big one it works for me.

On the front.... it took me a long while to get used to the Kawasaki front end. When I first started looking at sport bikes, I was almost set on a GSXR. The single cyclops headlight was what did it for me, actually, I really liked it. (theolder GSXR's, I wasn't going to buy anything newer then '05 gsxr.)After awhile though, and the more I looked, the more the Kawasaki front end grew on me to the point where I bought one! The only thing I hate is the single headlight. I wish they'd fixed it on the '07s, but nope.

Need to buy a dual headlight kit bad.

I love my 07 there is nothing I would change except they should have made the heel gaurds black like the rest of the rearsets but I do agree about the head lights too!

i totaly disagree, i hate the look of the 07 front, the headlights look like they were put together by a 3rd grader, the headlight cutout of the plastic is to big for the actual headlights, looks like crap. in my opinion.

the main thing and the only thing i would change about my 06 6r is to go to the 07 gas tank (more edges) and go to the 07 gauge cluster. past those two things i think it would be the perfect bike (the 06)

New frontlooks like a parakeet. But, thenew one turns so much easier. While the previous '05-06was slow to turn, the new oneturnsquick and precise. Also, the gearbox is WAY nicer. Neutral is easy to find and it goes into first at stops easy as well. Theprevious bike youusually have toroll around to find neutral or first. From the sides bothstyles lookvery similiar. New one also has a gear indicator, no more going for 7th gear. Two thumbs way UPfor the new one

The only thing I would change about the 07's is the head lights. They don't look agresive enough. The 03-06 had the whole pissed off insect look to them. Other then that the 07's are sweet.
