i rock the pink icon gear while i ride n everyone knows me by it.

It will probably rock as you apparently do. Make sure you get a pic of it when it is done. You could always go with a black bike. Your Pink gear will stand out and make you more noticeable. Later

I cant comment on the 07/08 since this is the first honda that Ive owned. I dont think the green is even close to Kawasaki green. As far as power goes, Im not racing so the power sits just fine with me.

That's news to me. What'd they change that would rob power? I thought they fine-tuned to produce even MORE mid-range in the '09's...

Hondas should be red/black.

Failing that Yellow/Black. Failing that Orange/Black. Failing that red/white/blue. But never GREEN. And NEVER with silly *** "gothic grafitti" on them. Hmmm, guess I'm from the "ode skoo"... - VE

i heard people say they added a valve in the exhaust that changes back pressure to add more mid range, not sure if that's true or not and whether that robbed any top end power

According to the most recent dyno I saw it had 98hp at the rear wheel, down from 105 for 07/08. I hope they just had a crap bike and the rest will be back to normal but they claimed it was for noise emissions. A new exhaust will fix it up good though and I must have this kawi green honda. Its insanely gorgeous, and will look awsome next to my yamaha blue F4i.

I know for sure that you and your black and red arent gonna stand out anywhere. Especially up against my green.
