2008 is gonna be a competetive year
just looked at the 08 gsxr 600 and the 08 r6. they are gunning for the 07-08 cbr 600 rr. and hard. kawasaki never had a chance. the new zx6 is way heavy and way down on power. wonder if triumph is gonna up the anty with a new 675 soon. gotta tell ya the r6 and 675 are both gorgeous.
suzuki is 359lbs (+4 over 07), kawi 368 (+4 over 06), yamaha 366(+7 over 07), honda 345 (-19 over 06), triumph 363 (unchanged since inception)

I owned a Triumph three years a ago. Nice bike, very easy to ride and ride a long distance. But it was no comparason to the our bikes. Prior to ownig it I had then then new cbr 600f4i and after having it a cbr600rr. Again a great bike... but not a chance i would buy another one.

All very nice bikes, although the Triumph is the only one I can say is trully beautiful.
Nothing wrong with the other ones though.
It will be very interesting to see how formula x-treme turns out next year, and the rest of the 600cc super sport races.

RE: 2008 is gonna be a competetive year
I always wondered if honda or any other company knew that everyone gets rid of the factory tail/head lights, but still made them how they are. Why woudlnt they just make them flushmounts or have the fender already gone?? Maybe they have some kind of agreement with the aftermarket companies, which doesnt sound all that crazy, considering they could probably make an exhaust that sounded like the aftermarket slip-ons for the same cost as their own, or something similar. Just something ive thought about but cant really have answered unless anyone here has talked to an executive from honda
