2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was talking to our Honda Rep. Today ( I work at a Honda dealer in NY) And he was telling me that the pictures will be available on Honda's website on the morning of Sept. 6th...He doesnt know exactly what it will look like but "rumor" has it that the exhaust will exit from the bottom of the bike. no word on colors or any other specs yet. Suposedly the picture of the repsol in the japanese magazine thats been floating around is the closeest to what it will look like.

Well here it is folks....
Newest news i heard from my honda rep is that the 2 bikes at the show were still just prototypes. The real bike will be revealed toward the end of the month...There is going to be a few different 1000's to choose from with different power options/ computer options and rc212 upgrades... just when we thought honda let us down they have a HUGE surprise for us....everyone unwrap their panties and await the almighty sportbike
-John

EDIT: The 6th is here...

I guess they had themselves some fortune tellers back in 2005 then!

They did that last year for the 07 600RR too. For any non-members of the Honda riders association, go and sign up and you should be able to see the pics and specswhen they're released: www.hrca.honda.com

Lower CG and polar monent of inertia....Eric Buell was right after all.

I hope it is fake, I don't like it[&:] Holes in the fairilng have some weird shape, gixxer exhaust makes it look fat, and that plate holder doesn't look right.

I hope it looks like that Repsol edition! That bike is sick! I want a black one!

I have to agree about the exhaust and the Fender.... other tahn that HOT HOT HOT....

I heard from another 1000RR site thatthis was a photo chop of what was to come and a bad one. Not saying that's its true just brining to your attention what others are saying. Just my two cents, not trying to piss anyone off.

I don't really like the bottom exhaust... I was always a big fan of the undertail exhaust

but then again what the hell do I know

True dat, and then I may have to go put a deposit down. If it doesn't thrill me then it's still Duc time.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 
I'm not a fan of the wierd headlight and windscreen ideas that have been coming out lately, but that photo of the Repsol conception is one awesome looking bike.

I also agree that the plate holder looks crappy, and the engine openings look like fish gills.
