Love the color when I saw it in person. Hate the graphics. I'd probably end up peeling them all off if I bought one.

gotta love honda, They make an "ALL black" bike, and forget to paint all the silver bolts, and cover the holes for the motor mount bolts/swing arm axle.

I also giggle when I see the pass peg sets...they painted them black, but left the pegs silver.

Thanks...i would like to add, I am not trying to be a statistic...

Ride in a helmet, gloves, jeans and full jacket all the time...reading a bunch of good 'how to ride' books and starting the MSF classes soon...already have full coverage and all that.

We build fast street cars (1000+hp) so I am over the 'omg so fast in a straight line' thing...I just want to ride my own ride and take it easy....learn bike control and go slow.

I love the graphics, but I see that they are not for everyone!

At least they didn't forget to paint the engine covers black, and then go back and paint them black and sell it for $400 more marketed as a "Special Edition". Which by the way they forgot to paint the bolts gold.

Triumph never built a bike intended to be all black. the SE covers were black for the obvious reason, the bike is themed black/gold. And there is an optional bolt kit for it...

I could live without the "CBR60RR" on the bottom, but other than that, I enjoy them.

I can live without the raw unfinished sand cast rims that Honda brazenly slaps on the latest generation cbr's... but those would come off eventually anyway along with the pogo sticks
