Judging by the instrument panel, redline still around 15K. Interesting that they didn't go after the Yam's limit.

I think it's good (more useable), but it is interesting.

 

i think i read something about how it's redline has increased but yet i don't see any increasment hmmm
anyone?

 

said it has increased by 500 rpms over the old engine... so hopefully the shift light comes on in the usual spot and we get that extra 5 to shift hahahah who knows. Im also glad they didnt shoot sky high for the rpms after seeing what its done to the powerband on the r6 ugh.


thanks for the new link azarmi

 

[Wiping drool off face] "That is hot!" I like the full gas guage, not just the reserve bars....im not sure if the old ones did have this too or not, but my f4i doesnt and i want one

 

Love the black swimg arm! AND they FINALLY changed the Blinkers........( my 82 had the ones like my 03...) LOL BUT LOOKS SWEET! Love the Look from front!!!

 

The only thing I'm worried about is the tail/brake light...its attached to the license plate bracket/rear fender. Anyone else see that as a problem w/customization? Other than that I agree...that is a sexy bike. I hate to say it, but the front end looks somewhat similar to the '06 R6 with that center air duct between the lights and the "air tunnel" shape of the front fairings right above the blinkers instead of a solid side.

 

I like it and then I kind of dont:

I LIKE:

The black swingarm. The black engine/tranny cover.

I DON'T LIKE:

The side profile (looks too Buellish-Compare side profiles to the Buell Firestorm, you'll see what I mean.) Front design (could have been MUCH better), Brake light, side fairings (or the lack thereof).

Pretty much, I'm glad I bought the last 2006 in southern New Mexico. I think it looks much better. The 2007 looks like it went a bit anorexic, and rounded the edges too much. I like the sharp edges that the 2006 has.

BUT!!!! I'm going to save final judgement until I get the chance to see one in person (and ride it). Sometimes, performance and handling enhances the inner beauty, making the appearance more appealing.

 

I've seen pictures of it with the orange blinkers too, so don't jump for joy yet...It might be a European thing, because the '07 Fireblade (European) has the same blinkers...

 

Heres a picture I posted the other day. A little bit more race look to the 07 600RR

No Turn Signals
No Mirrors
No Brake Light
No Rear Fender.

Customization shouldnt be too bad, as long as you can either A) remove the actual tail light and place it into another piece or B) plug in another brake light from another piece. It shouldnt be too bad... I myself wouldnt mind just keeping that one stock... you think about it, by the time you get a plate on there.... theres not a whole lot showin


And yeah... those winkers suck... but if its like normal, they will have the oem clear covers/orange bulbs right?
