And another thing is that it comes with a 120/60 front, not a 120/70 like all the other bikes out now. It literally is the same exact bike as the '04 but with different paint schemes every new year it comes out. Literally, down to the weight and everything.
Yeah you're right.

I saw one recently that had done a swap. Fucked with my head a little bit.

the only year they offered the inverted forks was 05... 06 it went to the new body... and the R6s went back to the non-inverted forks... where apparently.... it stayed
