Sup fellas,
I ride a 05 600RR and im going to keep that bike for stricktly racing and am in the process of getting a loan from the bank so I can get a 1000RR.... I want to wait for the 09's to come out and see if they have any new color schemes, so heres a main question that i've got regarding the 08/09 liter bike....

Should I get the 08' since its basically the same, or hold out for the 09 due to recalls on the 08 dealing with oil consumption, etc.

If i do go with the 08, anybody got any $ figures that I should shoot for so I dont get ripped off? Thanks

 

18 peeps have check this out and nobody! come on fellas.... just cause i ride a 600RR doesn't mean you cant help out a liter prospect

 

I dont really know what to say. Sounds like you already made up your mind to wait for the new colors of 09, I have zero problem with the oil on my 08

 

i dont have one, just snooping here

 

price range for a new 1000 cc ANY bike is around 11.5k, out the door of a stealership its gonna be about 12-12.5k for shipping fees, title fees, licensing and all

 

From most dealerships, you can save around $1000 on a left over model. I think I would buy an 08, as you said, the 09's are going to be the same bike. they might have a few tweaks here and there, but nothing worth a grand in my eyes.

 

dude go with the 07...08s look gay...well the 1000s

 

lokk for one around 11.5 out the door just don't go to mountain motorsports they will rip you a new one!

 

I haven't had any issues with oil consumption on my '08. I have about 2800 miles on it. I saw some pics of the '09 and I believe they added the repsol color scheme, but other than that the bike just came out earlier this year, so I don't think there are major changes to it. I am starting to see the "08 models go for $9999. That is not an out the door price but I am sure that you could probably get one at a reasonable price.

 

IMO Looks are not everything, I would rather have the first 1000 Ever to handle the same if not better then most 600's then a heavy slower bike based on looks.

and if you are buying your bike just on looks you are not buying a bike for the right reason at all

and, my 08 Fireblade looks kick *** IRL
