Yep, mine's an 06 but I like it. It all depends what you're after really.
The frame is a tad heavy due to the oversized steel tubing, but it's still nippy enough once you've removed anything unnecessary and being 78kg in the first place I don't really feel like the extra weight hinders me.
Of all the off the peg SS/Fixed I think it probably comes with the most functional features: 2 sets of bottle mounts, front and rear guard mounts, clearance for up to 27c tyres etc.
But, as with all OTP fixed bikes the stock components are possibly a bit liable to wear out quite quickly.
Oh, and I've just realised on the comfort front that the one-sided lower back pain I had with the langster has disappeared since I've been on the Kona.
Hope this helps!
