Its been awhile sence i was here. But has anyone road the new 600rr. I had a 2007 600rr would just like alittle feed back iam sure there just as nice as the 2007.

 

same bike... diff. colors.

 

1 tiny difference

07 rake-23.7 degrees
07 trail -96.3mm

08 rake-23.5 degrees
08 trail-97.7mm

So small you wouldnt know the difference...technical mumbo jumbo

Hatebreed is right...just different colors

 

If you're in a toss up, get the '07 and save yourself some dough. Same bike with that tiny difference that is almost impossible to tell.

 

^^ That's what I did. Saved myself a little over $1500 bucks.........then I just bought a couple additional fairings from an 08 to make it look the way I want. They just arrived late this afternoon, so tomorrow, I get to drive an hour to get them, then spend the whole day finishing up the bike.

 

I forgot...one other small difference...cosmetically speaking....the 08 swingarm is anodized instead of painted. Grabbed these pics off another site.

Here's the 08


Here's the 07:

 

I don't see any difference in the Swingarm. Am I missing something???

 

Look at the top pic....you can see the grain in the aluminum because its anodized...bottom pic its painted and you cant see it. Like I said...small cosmetic difference...but it is there. Nitpicky mumbo jumbo......[sm=smiley24.gif]

 

I can't make any comparisons between the 07 and 08 but I did finally get to ride my new silver 08 today. Compared to the f4i it is much quicker and more maneuverable. The shifting is much smoother as well. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the ergos after the f4i but it was really comfortable....would have rode all day if I could.

 

Ok. I see that now. Thanks for the clarification. So, if you know, what.. if any is the advantage of "anodized" aluminum??
