You are correct that they put new c/cases on the '06 models. The '05s were the same engine as from 2001 onwards but had cast wheels, new forks & swing arm added.
What you do get with the '06 is (allegedly) a smoother gearbox.
I still reckon the best Tigers are 2001 to 2004. With proper spoked wheels and better steering geometry.
