So now a few of you are taking delivery of the 2008 fireblade lets see some photos! Lets try and get as many pics as we can in the thread. Click on "Go Advanced" then "Manage Attachments" and you can upload them right into the thread.
That's totally badass. They styled the s__t out of this f__ker. I don't know why I'm even thinking of jumping on the BMW train. Oh, is that 168 bhp? Maybe. But my 929's been soooooooo good to me over the FORTY THOUSAND plus miles I racked on her. New stator, reg and battery. That's IT!!! After TEN YEARS.
Sweet ride.
Honda rules. That 1000 is Bee-You-Ti-Full. Be wise when you pull the trigger.
Not really a mod, just a couple of photos with the lovely ( albeit expensive ) seat cowl in place. Now if I can just work out how to get those rear pegs off !!!!!!!!!!
Here are my pics with the rear pegs removed - you must remove the entire rear fender, and inner tray with all the electrics removed - a major pain in the ass, but well worth it. :thumb:
hi all
im new here.
i may be getting the limited edition black 1000rr, soon.
i like the looks of this new bike. i had a cbr600f4 and it looks about the same size. i can't wait to get back on 2 wheels.
I picked my blk 1000rr up on the 10th trouble is I race quads and crashed on the 30th & broke my skull so i waited 10 days to ride it home in pain now it sits in my shop waiting. god i can't wait! I took my wife for a ride very slow but that is all. My son has a 600rr and he rode it and said my bike was retarded and I QUOTE "THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANYTHING TO GO THAT FAST THAT FAST" I said sweet! get one :thumb:

Phadreus, thanks for the post. After only a few miles I can say that this bike is drastically different from my 2006. My previous bike was an 06 1000RR and I feel that the riding position has changed for the better. Compared to my 06 which I will say is the girl next door the 08 feels like you are riding a supermodel. The bike is narrower than a ZX-6R that I rode at a Keith Code School with handling that is razor sharp. The blacked out rearsets and passenger pegs complete the look and I will be replacing the clutch and brake levers soon to eliminate the originals. Lastly, the gauge cluster is pretty trick, while holding the select button and turning the ignition on your first option is to set the shift light for desired rpm and then you can set the type of light you want on blinking or constant to your tastes. I will deliver more once I have more seat time.
Wow Nuclear, that thing is sweet! Enjoy the track days, hopefully you'll have it broken in by then! More pics please when you get a chance, and more feedback on how you're liking it! Thanks!
PEZ, Anything in particular you want a picture of? There is plenty of sun today and those pics from last night didn't turn out that well due to darkness.
Thanks, I get to make a request? You're the man! :thumb: Well, I guess I'd like to see some pictures that show the areas of gray paint. It's kind of hard to tell where is gray and where is black. What do you think of the little like quarter moon wheel stripes? Are they reflective at night? How about under the seat, how big is that area? Thanks Nuclear Bee!
Thanks for the link Litre Kid. There's a nice pic of the special edition in there. Man, I wish they had that in the UK. I'm gonna go for the B&W myself in lieu of the Black & Grey special. Will get the footrests and clutch/brake levers changed into black though. Still hate the fact that the engine cover on the UK model is broinze coloured though.
It's on its way mate! I ordered it on Friday and hopefully pick it up this week or latest Saturday Having trouble sleeping or thinking about anything else!
Pez, There is going to be a delay in those requests. The shipper picked it up yesterday and is taking it back to New England for the summer. To comment on your requests, the undertail is roomy. Measuring 6" inches wide, 12" long and 6-7" inches deep. The rim stripes are not reflective and the best place to describe the grey is the plastic trim between the frame rails and the gas tank shell.
