Default Who else hates their bike?

I have had my bike for a year now and have made some cool mods, but I just cant get past the look of my ugly *** swingarm. I have seen them powder coated and they look just ok, its just one ugly swingarm. This was my firstbike, so I didnt really pay attention to the little things, like fuel exhaust tubes the wrong color,3 different colors of powder coating. I was going to get that all PC ed, but Im sick of pouring money into this POS. Those of you that waited for the 07, GOOD CALL.

Having a bad day? I love my RR and still think it's the best purchase of a vehicle I've made.

Although I bought an '07 if I were to buy any years model, I still wouldn't notice any thing cosmetics besides these antennaes for turn signals.

It's my first bike. Could be also that I am color blind - can't tell differences between shades.

Not a good place to be posting that garbage. Do us all a favor and buy something "less ugly" and get off the forum.

You do realize they are practically the same swingarm (cosmetically) just one is powdercoated black, right.

You have anger management issues. Your bike is not the problem. It's your problem for faulting something that is a beatiful machine in it's own right. Different than the new ones... yeah. But the new ones are always going to be newer/different/better. It's called a learning curve and if you can't be satisfied with what you have, you will never be satisfied. Sorry, but the 08's are going to be different/better than 07's so you might as well put in a downpayment on one of those.

No they won't, it's not time for a new bike yet. The '08 1KRR will be different but not the 600. Different colors at most.

You don't think there will be improvements, however minor, to the bikes between years? I think there will be. It's the same as cars. Things change to refine the equipment. It may be small and seemingly insignificant, but it is still a change.

Nope, 03 to 04 and 05 to 06 were color changes only. This will be the same.
