2005 ---> Caspian Blue and Silver
2006 ---> Caspian Blue, Silver and (my choice) Sunset Red!
2007 ---> not too sure, but I know Tomato Red and Black
2008 ---> Graphite and Pacific Blue

I believe 05 and 06 are pretty much identical. The foam heat baffles someone talked of where a 'goodwill' warranty addition to the 06 if you requested it. Also, in 06, a 'goodwill' gesture was offered to increase to master cylinder size from 14mm to 5/8 inch if you requested. 05 and 06's had know problems with bubbling paint on the windscreens.

In 07, the ECM was upgraded to a stronger computer and thus able to take care of sluggish starting on the 05-06 models. Plus, a little better fuel economy. Also, in 07 onward was the bigger side vents, a little taller screen (which is the screen that the 05-06's get in warranty) and higher bars. I believe 07 onwards also had the panniers as standard equipment versus late in 06 being a buying incentive offered special.

08 I don't think any changes happened from 07.

I could be wrong on all, but I think that covers most of it!
ALL of them are great all-around bikes!
