Yes, black is fast but not nearly as fast as peepee yellow.

There's got to be more than adding white to the colors. What about all the bugs I see in the issues with 05 threads? Clutch cable problems, poor starting problems, etc?

Oh, I thought you meant genuine changes, not just fixes to bugs. I heard they fixed the brake caliper mushiness issue on the 06 by using the proper goop on the pistons. Other than that, I imagine the rest has been tweaked as well. The 05 is a great bike, and its not like you couldn't pitch a fit to your dealer to get them to fix anything that was brought out standard in the 06. Well, other than changing your bodywork to black to go faster.

just kidding of course, everyone knows white is faster and cooler than Black and Black is a dominator-color, needed by sickos to "prove their masculinity" to the rest of the non-caring world.

Did the 05 have braided steel brake lines? My 06 does and it stops
GOOD! Goes good too.

come on guys, are we honestly arguing over which color is faster? I thought we were all much more mature than that! Btw, scorched yellow is the fastest! :-D
