The 08 'Blade is kinda ugly, but in a good way, if that makes sense? It's not offensive, just interesting.

It's definitely a bike i'd be considering if i had the money/experience

I personally love it.

Looks more like the earlier stumpy blades,a refreshing change from the latest crop of generic gsxr's and ninjas.
Bikeless again :/

Looks alright. Although a blatant rip off of the r6's rear end.

Honda say that changing the exhaust will result in a loss of power because of the butterfly in the can. Also it's too small ( ok if your 5ft nothing and 10 stone ) and ugly as sin :twisted:

I like the RR8 Iknow just after I got the RR7 They started publishing prototype pics in the bhe bike mags and it was getting slated from the start for looks. Although one of the things I liked aboout the early RR's was the under seat exhausts but they all seam to be going for the new GP style exhausts now and I think they look great. :)
