RE: Pros and cons
Go 07, bigger engine 96ci vs. 88ci, 6 speed tranny, "supposedly" better closed loop FI system. Unless they are going to give you one hell of a deal (like 4 grand off) on an 06, I say go for the 07.

RE: Pros and cons
I agree with this, and if I was buying I would wait till next year. BUT.... If I HAD to buy right now, it would be the 07 without a doubt. 07's have a 6 speed which is one year old and working fine, and the 96" engine, although different, is not that much different. (longer stroke) So, if I was to buy a bike and could not wait for the 08's, between the 06 and 07, definetley the 07. Always go for the newset, resale will be better toward a 08 as well! Wish I had this problem for real!
