    pulled these pics from the news section of the honda riders club site.

    looks like they had some surplus paint left over from the RWB anniversary VFR's!

    TheRWB blade is a genuine anniversary scheme according to the blurb.

    also the repsol is a conceptual done by a dealer so not yet a production
    scheme.

    still they look interesting. im still not sure about the 'roundy,round' overall shape of the new blade?

    boy if I could get that RWB one with a V4 and just a very slightly less aggressive posture, I'd be all over it...hmm, I don't know though... It's tempting... I don't know what you boys would do without me if I switched to a CBR, though...

    I had a chance to ride a 2008 CBR 1000 for 50 miles through the twistys Sunday and was thoroughly impressed, it really didn't feel like a typical inline and and the torque curve reminded me of a V-twin, as far as sportbikes go, the ergo's really wasn't that bad...

    The Repsl looks good, but I am likeing the RWB. But then, if they do that for 09, the RWB probably won't make it to the U.S.

    i thought the magnesium colour on the repsol's clutch housing was a nice
    touch. stands out compared to the same black item on the RWB.

    apparently the RWB is called an 'NBC 1000 RR" (WTF....nuclear,biological & chemical?? huh???).

    perhaps it stand for 'New Blade Colour" instead... :unsure:

    apparently all ready out in japan.

    NBC = New Bold Color. NBG = New Bold Graphics (this applies to MX)
