Never had a problem with the shifter on my 05, I thought it was smoother/easier than any other shifter I've had. I thought it was the 1st generations that had shifter problems.

The engine is the smoothest 600 I've ever tried.........Very little clatter or valvetrain noise. The riding position is definitely more comfy than a 636 or a Gixxer. Fit & finish is very good.

The 05 suspension is stiffer than the 03-04. If she gets an 05 she might want to get the rear shock re-sprung, because it's very stiff for anyone under 175 (for street riding, at least).
