RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Good thing the 600RR's still look good, cause that 1000RRis butt ugly.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

nevermind

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

I think I'll reserve judgement until I see it in the show room. Regarding the signal location, I kinda like it, probably safer. Interesting though, Ducati does this yet that comparison or accusation hasn't been made. Just an observation.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

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

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Sorta like jam... [:'(]

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

I'll take one of the prototypes then, It'd be great to have a unique Honda.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

So your Honda rep has exclusive info that no one else has and has decided to reveal it to you?

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

It seems that way huh?... Hes been right about everything else hes told me, Including the colors of the 08 600rr a few days before they were shown at the show.... we'll see though....

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Well... i see it this way, if HONDA exec' are watching at least they will know how the consumerthinks ofthis fine machines...

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

2 questions..
1. What's the best way to spend 10 grand without your wife finding out?
2. What's the best way to explain (lie) to your wife how that new 1krr made it's way into her garage?

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

A 1 .Divorce.
OR
buy the bike when she ask you were you got it say a girls name and say she told you to buy it and then say you been cheating on her for about a month now. She will forget about the bike. Don't listen to me im single.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Its easier to ask for forgiveness then permission

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

haha... This is like a philosophy lesson! haha

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Looking at it over and over again and starting to think maybe it is not as bad after all... It's just not "love from the first sight" kind of bike, I'm pretty sure from different angles andafter some timeit would look fine. The only thing I still hate is its pipe...

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Nah, the bike still looks ugly. The new '08 zx-10r looks way better.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

maybe honda is putting out a ugly bike to make us think we are going to get the ugly bike and make other comapnys think that.

but they realy have a bike thats so unique and beatuiful it will blind us withs its amazing looks and performance. then we will all think its even better becuase we thought it was going to be ugly and the other companys will be angry becuase they were out done again

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

dam i just talked to my salesman at the honda dealer i gave a thousand doller deposit to,and he is now saying late feb the 1krr will be available...dam it better be worth the wait,what am i thinking its honda it will be worth the wait!

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Where are the pics of the Honda. AFAIK the other 3 of the big 4 have released theirs. What is Honda waiting for?

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

i have no idea,he said that the pics out are not what the bike is going to be..he is saying i dont know him from Adam,but he said nothing official will be released till end of winter..he said whenever a new body style comes out they wait till end of winter which makes sense.the other 4 have been released cuz they are the same body style as last year?now remember guys i do not know this guy except for the fact he is who i will be handing my hard earned cah to when the bitches do release the new king of the open class,so do not hold me to any of this it is all hear say.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

There were some rumors that 1krr will be revealed somewhere around september 24. No?

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

from what im hearing out here no,nothing official till end of winter..if we go back to last years 600rr relase it dident comeout till end of jan of 07.it sucks too i thought i would have a brand new bike by this time next month...

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

When I was in the dealership last week, the salesman I was talking with mentioned something about the new 1000's already being sold orunveiled in Japan? I tried finding my way around the .jp site, but no luck on lucky clicking. I just scanned over all the posts, maybe someone already brought this up.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

I'm hoping Honda has a research team looking at all the forums, because I've heard nothing but negative comments about it's looks from just about every forum (even forums for other manufacturers.) If Honda does their homework, they'll realize this bike isn't as big of a hit as it could have been, and HOPEFULLY will freshen up the fairings.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

Here you go guys...It's official, those pics that you've seen from the side are of the real thing...this is a foreign Honda website, so the colors will be different...well, here you go, enjoy... http://www.hondaitalia.com/moto/uff_...ade/index.html
Sorry if I'm a little late on this one. I know it's been said over and over and over but I'm not impressed at all. They took some "goodies" from the rest of the "Big 4" and made this...Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, I mean, Jesus Christ...it's a beast BUT, ummm, yeah, I don't like it at all [:'(].

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

i gotta know where you get these pics of these girls on bikes. i wanna go there.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

I'll rip some pics from that Italy site and post them in a new thread.

Thanks 05RR for the link.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

No problem. You know your computer stuff, I don't, lol. I wasgoing to make a new thread but yeah...I have the specs somewhere but I don't feel like getting everything togather. It SHOULD be on Honda's US website sometime today, so maybe they'll have everything put togather then.

RE: 2008 CBR1000RR UPDATE
 

I just can't stand that fairing. It looks something like Ghostface from Scream...
