Thanks for all the comments guys, I went to the honda dealer for the first time today and sat on a 919 and I really think that this is the bike for me, I am going to wait and see what th 06 looks like, and the dealer seemed to think he will have a 05 or two around in the spring at a discounted price so I should have a choice between the two. I cannot wait but its gonna be a long winter here in new england
