eh, they only had factory pics on their site.

I may be down there tomorrow, if they have any left i'll get some pics. It was back when they first came out, so they may have been some sort of modified version or something, but there were like six or seven of them. I didnt even see one with the normal 08 exaust. I remember talking to the guy there about it and he said "oh its an option from honda" and i though bullshit... i figured they did something to them cause of all the hatin on the new look.

Sit on an 08 gixxer, much narrower than the older ones.

You know what I really dont care for the new gixxers and to tell you the truth I dont really like Suzuki products.

I don't really care for the front end either...maybe it will grow on me. I do like the bike overall though...awesome machine.

I have heard of "some" oiling issues...burning excessive oil I believe.

It is a screamer.

ugly as shit front end, but killer paint schemes...

it's a 1000 man, im sure its a nice bike. Im currently rawkin a buddys 07 1000, and all i can say is, rides like a honda. The ride is shit due to the horrible stock seat im sure, but handles well...tho I actually prefer the handling of the smaller bikes...and i dont know anyone who has one that actually RIDES it either...

hate the exhaust, and taylormade makes one that actually looks tits like on my old gix 600

but...

still thing hte 06-07 cbr1000rr is the best looking bike...might be biased

my friend has a LE all black 08 and he loves it but it looks to small for me, but w/e floats your boat my friend
