Yea pretty nice actually ,not too "show off/hotrod" looking

Id certainly buy one if i had the $$$ but maybe go for a gloss black with white flames ghosted on

**Trudes** · 2nd June 2008, 18:59

Damn!! That's hot!! A bit like the ZX10...?

**shadow sol** · 2nd June 2008, 19:37

i like it - not to over the top, but i agree black with white would look good, or metallic blue with silver flames

**HRT** · 2nd June 2008, 19:43

Looks hot... want one...

**McJim** · 2nd June 2008, 19:55

Hmmm - looks like a Hyosung.....

Cant get em in gloss black anymore, they stopped making them in gloss black in 06... now you get granite or err graphite black? ...gloss black looks better though.

In regard to post 1 link, i think the flames are a bit too biker boyz hot rod wank wank.

Hot rod flames are best left on hot rods.

But, each to thier own.

Different strokes i guess,not for me at all though i love the bike,flames on hotrods are sweet but otherwise

**McJim** · 2nd June 2008, 20:17

Yeah, the Hyosung below makes the point I was trying to make about the flames.

**Dave-** · 2nd June 2008, 20:17

psssht

flames? really?

the grafitti cbr600 is cool to me cause it's so different.

I believe it will get an extra 5hp out of it with the flames.

Picture of the desired machine below.

If you desire a set of flames on your own ride you can have them added with vehicle stick-on graphics. Pretty cheap and fully removable.

meh.....I've seen one in person at my local dealer.........its nothing special. That yellow was the first '08 they got in and its STILL sitting there.....they've since got in and sold a liquid silver, a blue, and a black one. Nobody wants the yellow with flames heheh.

Now the old R-6 LE (Limited Edition) yellow was freakin hotness. I wanted one sooooo bad but couldnt find a new one or a pristine used one.

Here's a pic of the R-6 LE......I think you will agree that its kicks the shit out of the 08 yellow:

While the flame job might look coold for a day or two I am sure I would soon get a bit tired of it. I would pick the red and white version if I was buying one:

very nice, but (unfortunately) it doesn't beat the factory flame paintjob on a zzr1400.
it matches it though eh, all you need to complete it is a pic of a near-naked chick hanging on for dear life..haha!
