Ack. That's a frightening machine.

I really love the way the black ones look. Did they update the front end fo '05? It looks a little more aggressive than the ones I have seen, but maybe it's just the camera angle.

Same as 04'. The bike is handles much different than my old fireblade. It seems to turn into corners much quicker and is less forgiving to any mid corner line changes than the blade. My old bike had a full arata exhaust and pc3 that dynoed around 143whp. This things feels like it is sooo much stronger and pulls like there is no tomorrow. I have already had the back tire spin up on me in a 90deg corner last night. I am unsure if it was due to these tires, power, or a bit of sand in the corner.... regardless, it woke me up!

Honestly, even the gearing is insane, 180+ top speed, 106 mph in first, yet still outaccellerates a busa. I mean come on, some sprockets on this thing have you pulling it up in 4th on a power wheelie if it cant already. Its my dream to own, the best part is it just about the same size as my 636, not a huge gixxer 1000. Good luck and be careful, this thing could make any rider humble.
