Nice mate, I'm getting one in Blue/Black/Gold. I've put my deposit down at Springwood Suzuki in Brisbane - can't wait!

I'm trying to get a friend in the USA to track down one of the Shoei Hayabusa helmets for me. As with previous models, they've got them colour coded to the 2008 models.

Blue
Orange

My gf bought a Shoei XR1000 Fab today - she loves it:

I know it's not the same, but here is a photo I took yesterday at the Brisbane Exhibition. Smitten

Do you reckon they add that ridiculous piece of plastic at the back under the number plate just to bait you into cutting it off and customising it???

like Ive said from the beginning, ya gotta wait to see it in the flesh then make an opinion.

I don't think I've spoken to anyone who has owned or currently owns a 1999-2007 busa who doesnt like the 2008 busa once they have seen it in the flesh. Me included.

Anyone out there who has seen it in the flesh, and doesnt like it?

Yep it may be butt ugly, but i'd still have one, an old Italian driving phrase:- "whats a behind, she doesn't matter".

hey guys , had the chance to see the new one in the flesh and FARK ME !! so much better looking. The arse end is nowhere near as ugly as the pics make it look and the jaffa is pretty hot in the flesh.
Rear plastic thing with number plate holder was bolted on so no cutting needed- just unbolt and replace with a plet holder. Pretty good idea i say!

Anyway i want one.... Drool

cheers

And let's face it, the only people seeing it will be everyone else on a slower bike.......... 2fast4u

**Volvi** · 23-09-2007, 02:00pm
