05 vs 06 YZ125?

[ls1cameric]

Are their any major differences?
I was looking for an 05 over the weekend but not a lot in town and the ones they do have are not much cheaper than the 06's (few hundred cheaper).
So was thinking of maybe just spneding the little extra and getting the 06 if it equals up to the hype that the 05 does.

Anyone???

Uhh they both have the new aluminum frame. 2005 was the first year for it...

The 06's have the better fork and personally I think they upped thier build quaility alittle bit also. everyone says the '05 forks performs like the '06 after a revalve if the difference is only a few hundred in price new figure that extra bit into the '05 for a revalve to make it more like an '06. Is the '05 totally horrible stock no but they are not as plush as the '06's. Plus the '06 has a better stock seat it's actually alittle taller but the foam isn't as hard. Some other changes there's the difference in a nutshell for ya.

EXACTLY the type of responce that I was wanting...

I had heard but forgot about the forks... Also the seat will benifit me better too for trail riding being a little softer. Awesome! :cool:

06 has a titanium rear spring and a larger diameter aswell as coated shock piston which is basically a works piece. The pipe is differant which gives it a bit better bottom end. Both are very good bikes the 05 is still better than everyone else's 06.
