What is is the diffference between a 06 and 07 Apex GT

[hd_yamaha]

Besides the handwarmers ...what else is different. .
I have a choice between a 06 or 07 leftover
and the price on the 06 is 500 less so I am wondering what the difference
and is worth an extra 500

Thanks

The shock is calibrated better on the 07. I easily bottomed the 06 but rarely bottom out the 07. I weigh 180 pounds.
If your any heavier than that, you may want to consider the 06 with a revalve and bigger spring for less than the 500 dollar difference.

Other possible issues: chaincase cover, wheels and windshield is lower.

the above plus there was some mention of a stiffening bracket on the rear of the tunnel. I think besides revalving, might be a seal improvement on the rear shock as well.

07 will have better resale than the 06 for sure ! You may get all your 500 back if you sell it within a couple of years !

The 07 GT has the upgraded chaincase cover, updated mudflap, handlebars, better shock calibation/seal in the rear, extra tunnel braces in the back as there were a couple issues with tunnels bending, and higher windshield. I'd go with the 07 for only the 500 dollar difference hands down.

Spring on the front shocks is a different colour too on the 07.

For $500, I would also take the 07 Attak. Now, if your dealer made the difference $1000, then I would consider the 06.

updated mudflap

Must be poor trail conditions , mine came with a snowflap.

In '06 I could have used the mudflap. I put on less than 1000 iles mostly in snirt

Go with the 07. Once loaded on your trailer they become used sleds and the 07 will fare better.

Agreed, The resale factor makes this a no brainer!
