fastbikes mag has a different version of the white and red and the blue and black that I cant find on the net. so i have a feeling these could be the yanks colours perhaps.

new cbr 600rr : colours, Electronically-Controlled Combined ABS, minor changes to the cylinder head, pistons and exhaust have increased torque from 8000-12,000rpm ,and the fairing has been slightly redesigned to reduce wind noise and increase stability at speed.

This has to be the most boring thread ever due to the content.

2009 looks like a very bland year for mainstream Jap bikes.

i think its only the thous that are getting worse, the 600 class has the ninja as a exception, which seems to get uglier with each update. the 2009 daytona looks ugly too from what iv seen

other new bikes

The blue CBR pic and last red one look sexy as. Razz

Aye and thank f*ck. I'm a big lover of nice bikes that aren't really new but I love new bikes. Someone has to advance the field, and that, is the power of dreams. Wink

Am I the only person here that loves the general directions super bikes seem to be going... Razz

The fireblade has definitely grown on me and the Repsol scheme is just 'sexual'.

The 6rr's blue and white scheme looks amazing, it reminds me of the Konica Minolta paintjob.

The R6 has hardly changed but I'm liking the orange paint job.

The Ninja looks good enough for me.

However the Daytona does look like it's taken a step back, it looks too stretched on the nose cone, I'd prefer the older model in terms of looks and the FZ6 is fugly.

I'm a little worried about the electronic ABS system on the CBR too. I hope it doesn't take away from the fun in riding a bike like many of the 'gizmos' in some cars do.

The head on pic of the new daytona makes it look angry not upset, although I do prefer the original.

Nothing new then.

Why've they ruined the looks of the RR7/8 CBR? Those graphics are better suited to something Lego might produce.

I think they've ruined the Fazer. The fairing looks massive compared to the rest of the bike. And WTF is going on with the mirrors ?

Also, green and black CBR ? Confused

The R6 looks good in all them schemes though, apart from the fugly number plate dangly type sh1t.

I think Kawasaki are trying to put themselves out of business Crying or Very sad

And the big fat number plate holder is a legal requirement now, it has to be behind the back wheel.

i agree, the blade isnt no super model but i think those paint schemes are like a make over for a ugly chick (shes/its now more barrable to look at). like moonie said, im confuse what the hell kawaski are doing, but im guessing the green paint isnt the only green the styling department are using a lot of. this years six isnt that bad (like the 10) but when the r6 is one of your rivals at least make a effort!.
the daytona was a nice bike too, so i dont understand why they tryed to fix what wasnt broken, its got 3 extra bhp and is 3kg lighter, but id op for the dated styling and more engine updates over what there offering for 2009.

im also a fan of the new blue/white cbr (dont think those pics do it justice so...) https://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/2009_honda_cbr600rr_abs.jpg

https://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/2009_honda_cbr600rr_tank.jpg

as for the abs, from what iv seen (think mce might have a honda vid)it shouldnt interfere with rider input, its meant to stop rear wheel lift under heavy braking and stop the rear from locking up (pressure sensor in front lever applys rear brake via a moter etc when the ecu thinks its needed)

I'm hoping those are the graphics for the American market, looks like someone's gone silly with Illustrator.

Way too "rad" for my palette.

the blue and white is the limited edition for both markets, i still think the hanspree is the nicest colour the 600rr comes in, wondering how much extra they want for the abs option too(blue and white is for the stock model only aka with out abs susposedly and is aimed a a younger more style Conscious). surprised and upset theres no slipper clutch on this new bike too.

the pics of the r6 are the american models to my knowledge, other then in fastbikes mag, i cant seem to find pics of the uk models, the blue ones nearly the same (diffrent colour rims and slightl diffrent graphics) and theres a red and white model (red front, white tail and belly)

I love the new daytona. Looks pissed off at something. Would hate to see it in my rear mirrors scowling at me.

Blue/white/black CBR gives me wood. Shame about the shitty graphics on the mudguard and tail unit and ABS though otherwise I'd have one over the 07/08. Fingers crossed the ABS is only going to be an option, nearly loosing control and clenching your ringpiece so tight that you couldn't fit a fvcking peanut up there is all part of the fun if ask me Crying or Very sad
