Our Dealer has on on the floor. Is it worth it??? IDK

I did notice that the 07 SE actually has upgraded shocks compared to the standard editions.

IF you look at the yamaha website and the specs of the 07 SE you will see that it has high and low speed compression adjustment on the shocks. The other models only offer compression adjustment.

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelfeatures/544/0/features.aspx

Here is a quote:

New for 2007:
Special Edition gets hot flaming graphics.
Front and rear piggyback shocks adjust for high- and low-speed compression damping—as well as rebound damping and spring preload.
New, ProTaper aluminum handlebar is light, strong and comfortable.
New front brake master cylinder and lever gives excellent feel and feedback.
New, drilled rear brake disc reduces unsprung weight and offers excellent feel and feedback.
A new internal oil jet aimed at the piston bottom keeps things cool and well lubricated.
An improved clutch offers consistent operation and big-time strength.

And just from looking at the pics on the site they do apear to be different.

yeah they improved the shocks for 07, as for the ballance editions being worth it, well.. i think they are because they come with nerfs and a bumper already so that will save you a little money, other than that it is the same quad as a regular yfz of that year.

i really dont thing there worth it
they are a couple hundred more than the standard version, and all your getting is graphics, nerfs, and a bumper
you could just go out and buy better nerfs, bumper, etc. for less than ud probably pay for the ballance edition

this is just my 2 cents, ultimaltely do what u want

Its nice looking..I just dont think its worht the extra money..If you finance the quad your financing a bit more to have interest accrued to. Also tax would be a bit higher. And i think you can go out and get a better set of nerfs and bumper also..But its all personal preference
