Has anyone seen this color?

They have a few down here at Southern Honda. They just got in and they look :drool: in person. While I was there a guy bought one or had previously bought one and it was parked outside. It looks absolutely SWEET :rockwoot:

It's ghey, only way to make it look decent is to remove the stickers so it doesn't look like a tardcycle.

I would love to steal the subframe and passengers pegs off it though.

I've seen them. I bet they'd look good if you took off those gay ass decals on the fairings.

That's what I thought when I saw this bike for the first time.

Drewpy, Honda sometimes clearcoats over some of their stickers, so you are not completely retarded. They didn't clearcoat over these though.

:shrug: I like it; there's a few of them rollin around here. Thing is, in person/normal lighting, the design is MUCH more subtle. You have to really LOOK to notice it.

Thats very true.. But taking the graphics off look so much better... :dthumb:

Agreed, but it's still not bad, IMO. For a bike with graphics, it's subtle at least.

Saw an 08 1000rr the other day. Looks fucking great. I don't think the front is near as bad in person.

:iagree: I dont understand why people are bashing it still. I really like it and its probably one of the more comfortable bikes Ive sat on IMHO. If I was looking for a 1000 I would prob end up getting one of those, no questions asked.

its not bad... i still want them to offer a primer'd version of bikes with the price reduced. since they add $1000 for stickers, they can take off $2000 for no stickers and no paint. just wishing--

I was just thinking about that today. I could rock a primerd bike for $2000 off MSRP. And you could always paint it the color you want later.

Just the fact that this thing is called their "graffiti edition" means that its something I dont have much interest in riding, it seems like is meant for those more concerned with their image than their riding.

And the 1000rr definitely looks better in person. The nose doesnt look as bad and the exhaust is smaller than I thought. Id still like an aftermarket pipe if I owned one, but its not all that bad.
