'08 limited edition CBR6 RR - American paint job!!

Just popped into the Honda dealer in Tucson, Arizona today and guess what I found… A beautiful limited edition CBR6 RR in matt black.

Sadly the UK market isn’t getting this bike (apparently) and there are only going to be 5 sold (yeah right, I’m sure they will do more when they see how quickly these ones sell).

The standard bike is up for $9400 which would still leave you enough money to ship it to the UK. The downside would be the fact that it is a grey bike and you wouldn’t get a warranty with it :frowning:

Anyway, attached are some pics I took (not very good I’m afraid, but you will get the idea.

Still prefer the B&W one that a lovely young lady over here has.

Black would show up all the dirt. And it would look like a Gixxer…

That’s not a limited edition. It’s the regular 08 black for the US market. Looks like the yanks are trying to pull a fast one on you.

The proton flush mount indicators look good though i’m ordering mine this weekend!:stuck_out_tongue:

Hmmm… interesting. Thanks for that. I might pop down and see them again this week.

I already have the indicators in my suitcase :wink:

Do you know if the rear indicators are same as the front ones?

don’t like it. Have to say it looks like they are jumping on the band wagon but they have already missed the party. Black was so last year! I would just look like a Gixxer or an R1. White is the new black. Yours looks better then that.

If you reeeeeally wanted one though it wouldn’t be that difficult to get track fairings and spray them up two tone with gloss and matt black.

what makes it better though is that if you look up close on the mid fairing next to the skull with a bloody sprocket round it there is a spanner with a ? mark above it. What kind of fool designed the colour scheme anyway? Also all black will always be cool i’m getting my black mid fairings soon so it’ll be all stealthy. Just need to ruin the stealth though with a really loud exhaust. Although stock it does make some lovely noises.

Yes they are! :slight_smile:

Black will always be popular I reckon. How very dare you say that a Honda would look like a gixxer! :crying:

Agreed, I think I would rather go and get a respray and customize the design myself. One day… when I’m rich.

After reading the headline I was prepared for the worst :D… but this bike is not bad at all, very intriguing…

I love it! It’s beautiful.

That looks the nuts.

This is the only solid black cbr600rr that I would be intrested in, just add the min road kit, thats all. HONDA JAPAN HRC CBR600RR RR8 WORKS KIT RACE BIKE road kit removed

ItHONDA JAPAN HRC CBR600RR RR8 WORKS KIT RACE BIKE is a 2008 CBR600RR, with the road kit removed and the addition of some very exclusive HRC parts

Yes its nice,

But I still like the grey / whote colour scheme:

Stealth 'Blade. Nice.

I think red is good looking :smiley:

I know what to get you for xmas then…
It will be the best looking girlfriend you ever had:

I think the Japanese special edition is by far the best for '08; though I am a big fan of the matte black look.

That is pretty sweet looking, but perhaps without the rim tape? :wink:
