Hey, is it just me or does anyone else think the new 08 CBR 1000rr looks rediculous.. the tail end looks so short and small and the rounded front end just looks wrong. what was honda thinking..........


heres a link to a pic of the bike.. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2382/...4095a46741.jpg

what do you guys think?

 

Yea I dont like any of the lines on that bike. I dont know about the rest of you but I think they screwed up every part of how that bike looks except maybe the tank.

 

As funny as it may look... I like the fender and it's ease of removal (compared to the 07/08 600RR for sure!)... and the looks grow on you. (minus the exhaust... which looks like the barrel of some Hellboy pistol) Trust me when I say it looks much better in person and the ergo's are fairly comfy. It's so light feeling it's rediculous! Go see one in person and sit on it... you'll see what I'm talking about.

 

I agree. I'll stick w/my '07 600RR until I see the new 600RR, (2009, 2010??).

 

Why is this in the 600RR section?

Anyway I agree the street trim sucks, but the AMA guys have one sick machine here:

 

Check one out in person. I was a hater, now I think they nice looking.

 

I had mixed emotions until I saw one this past weekend. Hated the pipe in pictures and loved it in real life. Almost made me want to trade my 07 600RR in. Funny thing was that the dealer (Atlantic Cycles in Southern Maryland) had several colors available on the floor and sales person said they still havn't sold any. I thought there would be a waiting list for them.

 

Ok...that looks BAD A$$ ^^^^^^^^

But i have yet to see one in person....a couple of recent write ups in the trade magazines sure have sung its praises though

They look great in person if you look at one that does not have a solid black tank. Some of the color schemes are rediculous, but the red/black is awesome.

 

Easily removable fender aside, I love the things...I finally saw a few in person, and it's an absolutely amazing looking bike.
