Default 2008 CBR1000RR....

I know there was another thread on this but I couldn't find it.

Found a front profile of the bike, didn't see it before and I can't find anymore on the bike.... anyone have better views...? cuz it looks good from the front, side profile, not so good.

lots of pix here : http://fullgaz.co.il/galleries...).jpg

I can see the picture fool, you need to adjust your firewall settings.

Anyway, that frontal does look better but this is still not a bike that is going to sell based on its sexy aesthetics. The press embargo ends on Friday so there'll be plenty of pictures to see then.

Too much dead space on the front fairing, IMO.

The windscreen helps to minimize the forehead space. Kinda like a crow's foot...??

A little flash brochure from Honda Italy:

For some reason American Honda doesn't have any of their materials up yet (lazy bastards).

Ugh, this new color pallet is awful. Only 2 out of the 5 US color schemes look acceptable to my eye. Mostly because of their insistence on a black tank, it just looks...stupid. I'll be posting to TOV when I get home, for now you can check it out on hondanews.com



Good news is that it has a slipper clutch and what sounds like rudimentary TC.
