The longer I stare at the headlight, the better I like it.

Almost looks like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The variety of colors near the "GSXR" is pretty fuglylicious. But maybe that's just because it says "GSXR."

i'm ok with it, but i'm not as excited by it as i was with the last generation.
I sat on one at the motorcycle show and wasn't very impressed with the comfort of it.

Out of everything at the show i sat on, in terms of bikes I could realistically get, the CBR600rr and ninja250 were my choices.

Headlight reminds me of the "Guyver Unit" Anime/live action movie...

Me too. I'm sure an aftermarket company will clean that up real nice.

i like the previous generation "spoon" tail better. this one looks chopped and shortened, which messes with the lines. the tail lights are ugly too.

the front headlight is a little FooFoo, but whatever. skin that bitch in some track plastics and it's a moot point.

FWIW i'd rather have a 06 07.
