looks sick... if they'd have made the forks the same blue it'd have been perfect IMO...

Nice color........Can't deal with its scrunched-up riding position though. Track-only IMO. Nowhere near as comfy as a CBR or GSXR.

Saw one up close at the local Triumph dealer this weekend while out riding. The pearl white is badass, but I'm not sold on the shade of blue. I think a darker blue (think mako blue) would have been a better choice...but that's just my opinion.

I agree with you, I saw one a few weeks ago at the dealer. I wasn't sold on the blue either. Looks good in pictures I think...but in person it doesn't come across.

I may swing by and check one out. A friend totalled his R6 and is shopping around for his next bike.

that is a sexy bike. Throw a bigger motor in it though, as was already said.

You guys crack me up with your bigger motor nonsense.

I've never heard anyone say that about an R6, GSXR-6, CBR-6, ZX6, etc.

IT IS A MIDDLEWEIGHT BIKE!

If you want a bigger motor, buy a different bike.
