Whats ya think?

Hmmm

 

The html tags were not happy on the mac I'm using, but after I cut-n-pasted, the look is nice... does not seem as yamahamish as I'd expected. That said, I'm no fan of lights on the mirrors.

 

Ah, there it is! I didn't see anything at first.

It looks interesting, but I'm not sure about the mirrors either. I'd like to see a side shot of it. I do like the red though, looks like my VFR

 

Think of what? Your avatar?

 

What the??????? really, it was there when I posted it SOB curse of the 08 1000rr

 

I see it NOW

undecided on what I think of it

 

Pretty mean looking from the front. I have always liked the turn signal mirrors too.

 

Looks sweet!
Where did you find the photo?

 

Me likey!

Although I like the look of TS mirrors, they sure will make a small tipover mucho' expensive. Hmm, appears to be USD forks and the fairing upper/windscreen isn't VFR large, HUGE radiator, cheap cbr-ish windscreen screws instead of the more polished VFR look of hidden ones.

 

Well the properties on the photo say it's a 2008 Fireblade 1000rr but I can't find it on the net.

Thanks for the link.
Man that side view looks sweet!

 

I like this shot, I need to learn how they got that angle and all.

 

I see a huge aftermarket in rear fender / fender elimination kits for the new fireblade.

The exhaust does not look as ugly as I thought it would after seeing only the side-on shots.

 

Overall I'm in the middle of the road; neither hate or love it. Pipe is really a non-issue as everyone replaces 'em anyway. It looks like the exhaust pulses are aim right at the underside of the passengers thigh. Combined that with cramped passenger section and glove box seat cover and this should be a masochists' fantasy ride.

Interesting that the turnsignals are now no longer running lights. That sux.

 

Over all I think it's a nice looking bike, don't really care for the tail-light/plate assembly thingy though. Curious if the tool kit comes with a lever to dislodge the rear seat from between the passengers butt cheeks after a spirited ride.
