2008 CBR1000RR is here!

[jrandom]

It's hella ugly and almost certainly slower than the '08 ZX-10R.

What's to like?

[Chrislost]

i dunno... its fkn tiny tho!
parked my vfr next to one and front on there didnt seem to be much diference at all (exept a few cm height)

kinda looks like a dolphins head? perhaps they were hungry when they did the styling?

I personally think that its better in real life, and i sort of like it.

Hmm.. should have taken it for a ride today. Went down to Botany Honda to pick up some gloves and there it was. You know how some bikes look much better in the flesh than in photos... I don't think the new Fireblade is one of those. Dave says cancel the afternoon and take it for a ride but I can't do that!! And I won;t have time this weekend either!!

New gloves already?, hmm i spose i did sell you those alpine stars about 18 months ago.

That's not what the reviews I've read say.

Still, can YOU use all that power anyway. In fact, how many of us really can ?

Well, if we're going to be perfectly honest, I was trolling a wee bit there.

Well, of course. I couldn't possibly get anywhere near using all the performance available on those bikes.

Any preference expressed by a n00b like me is purely based on wank value, really.

I'll try and get a test ride on all the '08 thous ASAP, of course. Gotta be done.

Is it a bit arse about face ?

I saw a black Kwaka on the weekend (think it was an 08) and it looked sweet - maybe it was a 600 though ?

My skin is obviously wearing thin - the Honda fag jokes are wearing me down.

Particularly when they come from needledick, know nothing mofos such as skidmark.

I should get my bag out.

No, not THAT bag, my punching bag.

so...

has anyone been on the thing yet? from what ive seen it does look pretty "different" but its one of those "different" looks that can look awesome in the flesh (or metal / plastic...) every review i have read, and ive read a lot, say its a weapon to ride and in true honda style easy to ride at YOUR limit faster then on other litre bikes.

Took the wrapping off mine late today, It is impecably finished as per Hondas normal standards.
Pd then warrant and Reg first thing in the morning then I will know for real how it rides. I like it.
