906 vs 907

Post by lleach »

What are the differences? Is there a message that already compares the two?

I'm assuming you meant 906 vs 907...

many differences, in fact really what's similar is the bodywork (which is actually different, quite a bit)

some highlights:

906 = weber carb, 907 = EFI
906 = 16" wheels, 907 = 17" wheels
906 = eccentric adjust swingarm with 'softdamp' style linkage, 907 = screw adjust with 900SS style shock mount.

there are many, many more... and not to offend the 906 guys (or the 750 guys) but the 907 is a more refined bike that's easier to get parts for, so if you're shopping for rideability (not exclusivity) 907 is the way.

Sorry Steele, I have LIGHT 750 Paso and VERY GOOD 907IE, but never wanted 906, because it have same "problems", as 750 Paso plus heavy weight(and awful front brakes compared to that weight)

Btw, i have changed many things in my 750 Paso electrics and thrown Weber away to get rid of most "problems"......

Antti, who is thinking, what shall be next to collection... 2000 ST2 with mods, or newer ST4S ???? Any advises? all welcome....

Well have to disagree there my 906 DOES NOT suffer from the problems of the 750 and i have to say ..i think a lot of you are taken in by the crap that some journalists wrote about the 906 when it was new .... This year i really belive mine will crack 160mph with my friend SEB on board at 200mph .org speed trial at RAF woodbridge ...Lets see a 907 that can do that :thumbup: :neener:

And just how much of your 906 is original as built? You don't think with proportional mods,a 907 couldn't cut it?

I'm the person that changed the topic from 907 vs 907 to 906 vs 907 (which is what the original person intended, i'm sure)

I can't imagine that anyone is deleting posts.

I have a few years experience with nitrous and it's only in your, seems, very limited world that you could consider an engine on laughing gas to be stock.Your totally wrong in this whole thread,admit it and move on.
