The local dealership had four when we went by yesterday...

-Black and gold - gold rims look much nicer in person than what I was expecting.
-Orange - love the color not a huge fan of the decals.
-Red, gray, and white - NOT a fan! Really do not like the red seat.
-Blue - looks nice.

Should have told him only vaginas ride R6s and real men ride R1s with turbos.

It looks nice as hell though. I wish I didn't click on this thread because monday between work and school I can kill time by stopping by the local Yamaha/Honda dealership. (Talking to self) Very bad no don't do it damnit!!!

I hit 170 yesterday and the tag held up just fine.

I want to try to get an all carbon fiber system...well can anyway. I'm not getting a slip-on, I'm gonna hold off and wait until I can afford a full system so it'll be a while before I have one on there. Then I'll need a power commander and get it dyno tuned for max performance.

I spoke to a very, very, very fast shop owner out here who recently sold his GSXR and picked up a new 1000RR. I asked him how he broke it in and he said he breaks it in the way he rides and doesn't do anything different. That inspired my top speed run. I had more, but we were going into a headwind that was blowing pretty hard.

The changes from '08? A remapped ECU. '08 was when everything was redesigned.

I was just give'n ya shit cause ya said somewhere you were break'n it in according to the manual...

I personally broke my ZZR in (barely before I looped it.) but as I wanted to ride it... lots of oil changes though...


so coming from your 06... what changes are there?

* Over 50 friction-reducing strategies have been employed inside the engine, including the use of wider crank bearings.
* Upgraded fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T dual-injector system complements the higher compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.
* A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization.
* All-new frame takes handling to the next level, allowing more precise turn-in, greater corner speed, and tighter exits. Thicker headpipe-headstock and swingarm pivot area walls, and elimination of the frame crossmember, help achieve perfect balance.
* New swingarm has internal ribs added, and extruded section is now forged to work with the new frame.
* Revised outer fork tubes, a new lower triple clamp, and increased fork offset provide highly tactile front-end feedback.
* Moving the rider and bars forward and slightly lower enhances braking and turn-in performance. Clip-ons are also lower and re-angled.
* Front discs are 310 x 5mm instead of 4.5mm for increased cooling qualities.
* Increased fork height adjustability and rear ride-height adjustment range accommodate a greater range of riders and tires.
* Revised bodywork results in even greater aerodynamic efficiency.

It also has the variable intakes.
They never posted the wet weight of the '06 but the '09's wet weight is 414lbs.
