I just got back from the Honda Dealer Convention, and yes it's true there will be a new CBR1000RR. They had it under serious wraps, had to go through a security check to get into a private room to see it. I'm not allowed to say anything about it until it's oficial release on the 27th, but I will say that I am ordering significantly more than we did of the 2007.

IMO it doesn't look that good in the pictures, but hopefully it will look better in person. I Wonder why they scrapped the undertail exhaust?

Probably to save some stock weight.

Definetly not a fan of the vertical lines towards the front. But we'll see in person.

In all seriousness, I believe the designers were trying to emulate the side profile of the head & beak of the Peregrine Falcon, which also happens to be a very fast bird.

Claimed to be the lightest Liter bike ever, but no exact weight given by Honda just yet. Finally added a slipper clutch too.

honda is first to step up and no longer use the BS "claimed dry weight". The weight is taken 100% prepped with a full tank of gas
