RE: THE NEW 2007 HONDA CBR 600 RR
it looks as if they wanted to make a street fighter but changed their mind half way through.
i am very glad i bought my all black 06 when i did, it's a shame cause i think that the new yamaha's look better and better and then you see this weak *** bike (as far as looks go) but i guess the only way to make progress is to change what we have all grown used to since 03
as for color, [sm=badbadbad.gif]all black is best with dark smoke lens covers and all decalls removed and dark smoke wind screen with all the lights on the controls blacked out, with the head light turned off, at midnight, running on evil gasoline from the darkest oil from the deepest oil well, powered from the long dead souls of a black dinosaur from hell!!

Yea fretless I was wondering that too about the frame sliders. There is just that little sliver of fairing right there where the sliders typically go so if you cut it youre in a sense cutting that in half and the ends of the fairing are just gonna flap in the wind. Aftermarket is definately gonna have some "fun" with this bike.

ORIGINAL: DThompson
The result was a claimed 20lb reduction in dry weight over the 2006 model, from 361 lbs to 341 lbs.
While the new engine is smaller and lighter than it's predecessor, it also offers increased performance, to the tune of a claimed 118hp (at the flywheel) at 13,500rpm
The reflexes of the new bike are sharpened by its 22mm (0.86") shorter wheelbase
Honda Electronic Steering Damper
The smaller, sharper-edged new front upper fairing is dominated by the large central ram-air duct (which feeds the airbox through an opening in the steering head section of the frame), and is seperated from the sides of the fairing by a large gap
The new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels are also lighter than those on the '06 bike

Finally a real gas guage

HERES THE RC51 NOSE, JUST SO NO ONE GETS THE 600RR NOSE CONFUSED WITH THE R6
