I have ridden an '04 a decent amount. I didn't like the way it felt at all while riding in comparison to my 636. Just felt way too unstable at any speed. Maybe the '05 is different with the 70 series front tire. I haven't had a chance to ride an '05 yet.
Deffinately get a steering damper.

I second 2.2, hated mine(2003)-never felt stable or planted. The front end was just way too nervous for me. Although the engine was a screamer once you got it high enough in the rpm range and it was extremely flickable I just couldn't feel comfortable on it.

blah blah blah
Lots of great reviews on the '05 R6. You may want to do a search on the Internet for them. They also offer comparisons with the other major 600cc super sports.

I love my headshake, reminds me to be loose on the bars
