I was bored so I figured i'd snap a few shots of them to toss up for some of you that may not have seen them yet... And I havent been around in a while so I figured I would treat you guys a lil bit...lol
My opinion...
The Graffiti does look better in person then on Honda's site, but I'm still iffy on it. BUT I would love to have it and take all of the stickers off and then i'd love it...
The Red/Black looks killer, I like the red lowers but if I slapped them on mine then mine would look just like a plain 08 which wouldnt be any fun lol. But it is nice to know Honda got smart and removed the Silver mid fairing...
Now I just cant wait to get the Silver and Orange colors in to see what they look like in person.

For the millionth time (no offense lilgeneser) there is no difference other than the colors between the 07 and the 08. Lemme ask you this though, does the stealership have the right to charge me $400 more for the graffiti? Or should I strangle them for suggesting that?

The bikes look a lot better in these pics. The Honda website does no justice.

Exactly what Smokinlu said, no difference besides colors for the 07-08...

Ehhh, they only Retail for $300 more so them asking for $400 yeah I would strangle them lol. Are they discounting it all or are they asking close to retail?

I agree completely, the stock side pictures never do any bike justice...

Yeah, and I just parked one in my garage Wednesday!!
What a sweet ride!! Every aspect of this motorcycle BLOWS AWAY the '00 F4 I traded. The second I engaged 1st gear, I thought I was on at least a 750 compared to the F4. Just breaking it in and will try to stay below 6K rpm...I can't believe how this bike accelerates way down between 3-6K. Night and day between this and the F4, which had a flat spot just under 3K.
Engine, Styling - best looking bike ever? , handling - even over regular road surfaces, this CBR feels rock solid and forgiving, the transmission - the smoothest I've ever ridden, BRAKES - words don't even describe the feel, all I'll say is they're friggin' awesome!, great riding position and gauge cluster...Just want to comment how thrilled I am with the RR. Can't wait to hit the twisties tomorrow!
Glad to be part of the club!

I love those new paint options on the '08s, but there is just something special about that Honda red on the CBR, IMO

the graffiti doesn't look bad imo... but what is that graffiti a picture of? can't figure it out... is it a drawing of an engine? or abstract?

Yep, a skull, a spray can, some sprockets, and some buildings... oh and some arrows.
I'd actually like it more if it didn't have the skull... kind of ominous when you think about it.

I do like the fact that 98% of the rear is black. It looks much more refined than the red version. However, I would still take the red for visibility and safety.

Just got my Novemeber/December Red Rider Magazine. Shows the new CBR Litre. I'm not sure what to think of it. The silver and black look pretty cool on the front cover. I'm sure it will grow on me. Then, I will probably end-up buying one next Summer. :-)
