Update:
I found there were some recalls for the 2008 cbr1000rr
one to do with the clutch and this other.

Hadn't heard about that one, only the oil burning issue which supposedly only effects about 10% of them.

Anyway, from what it looks like the 2008-2010 1000rr are pretty much identical aside from graphics, so I imagine they want to get rid of that old stock. I mean, aside from the aforementioned issue I have not heard a single bad thing about the bike. Apparently it feel tiny and lightweight (relatively speaking), has a monster midrange and very easy to go fast on.
