The '06 langster, the graphite one, is a great bike.
I rode one for about 4 years, in various different guises. It's light and agile, with a short wheelbase. Unlike the later models, the geometry is fairly tight.
The downside is that you'll be buying a 6 year old aluminium frame with (unless they were upgraded) aluminium forks. The upside is that mine is still absolutely fine after several years of heavy use and not a single clean or regrease.
Don't dismiss the langster because of it's name alone. the '06 model is a great bike.
