Dunno, I've not tried the 2017 yet. I prefer the looks of the newer bike.

I have to admit...my mate's '05 is every bit as nice as the day he bought it....there's a few scuff marks he did himself through normal use, but it's been almost sickeningly reliable otherwise.

Hondas from that period are second to none when it comes to build quality. Cookiemonster's wife has a CBR600rr from then and it looks new.

I really like that age bike! Both the Blade and BabyBlade are lovely to look at - not big power but big reliability and apparently really good handling

The 600rr is incredibly stable. It's easy to ride it quick.
