Greetings:

1) No difference.
2) Buying a low mileage bike can save your some bucks.
3) Make sure the bike you are buying has the heat shield installed if it's an 06. Make sure the dealer get's your bags in a timely manner. Otherwise, you will be getting a great bike.
BMW:
Do you know if the 05's can be upgraded w/the additional heat shielding? (As a fellow SoFla resident, that's important.) As I recall from my various readings, the 06 had some small changes to suspension and engine from the 05. I know the 07 has a new CPU and the heat management has been changed along w/some ergonomic adjustments. I ask because there's a low mileage 05 available locally and the price is pretty good.
Thanks!

Lee,

The 05's should be able to accept the heat shields as they do make a difference down here in South Florida. Should be a very low cost modification for the 05' since it was free with the 06'. Let me know if you end up getting the bike. I don't see many down here.
