: 2008 GSXR 600 Black/black - pics
mechadeath 03-27-2008, 11:30 PM Was holding out for a blue/white but then I went and saw this in person, better than i expected, that and the blue 600 has that awful blue seat =P. 300 miles on it so far, breaking in gently, can't wait to see what the 8000-1600 RPM range will uncover.
Kaxter 03-28-2008, 02:19 AM Great looking bike, I love the all black.
Mr GS500F 03-28-2008, 03:06 AM man......seeing this makes me with mine was all black!!!!

foskamink 03-28-2008, 04:57 AM hey im just wondering how much it says in RPM to run the bike in. basicly how much throttle can u unload before the 600 mile service mark and the engine is ran in
2006GSXR600 03-28-2008, 05:04 AM You both have sweet ass bikes.
2006GSXR600 03-28-2008, 05:06 AM Btw, time to rock out on some ROCKBAND. lol
SilentAssassin 03-28-2008, 07:19 AM Looks nice...I like the contrasted look of the black k7 600 more imho
riseabove_xxx 03-28-2008, 09:38 AM love all black bikes, Nothing better
Carnage 03-28-2008, 10:46 AM Tight :thumbup
proze600cc 03-28-2008, 02:40 PM wow. thank god i got the 06. that fuckin bike is hideous.
.:1k:. 03-28-2008, 02:48 PM I like the all black 08, but not sure if I like it more than the 07.
Black Zuki 03-28-2008, 03:01 PM wow. thank god i got the 06. that fuckin bike is hideous.
wow..you cant be serious..."Hideous"? Thats a little steep dont ya think?
.:1k:. 03-28-2008, 03:12 PM I do like the fact that they went to an all metal tank again. It really doesnt look THAT much different, so it cant be hideous.
mechadeath 03-29-2008, 12:36 AM that's a damn fine looking 07... love the almost invisible GSXR badge, very neat.
Headlight on the 08 looks damn good, the pegs and exhaust can are too bright, but at least not polished/chrome shiny, they're very matte... hard to make it look good next to a raven R1 tho, sigh :-p
As for breakin, gotta keep it under 8000 RPM, constantly vary the RPMs and NOT chop the throttle. This is the EXACT type of thing the drive selector thing is for, basically clipping your torque curve when high response and power would be more dangerous to you or the bike.... other than that, not really impressed with the drive selector, it isn't programmable from the bike's onboard CPU.
Also, I have yet to feel the slipper clutch doing anything. Granted I dont have any other racebikes to compare it to, but this feels like any other bike clutch to me, maybe it'll be noticeable up in the 8000-1600RPM range when youd expect to experience wheel slippage due to high-rpms on shift.
itsjonjon 03-29-2008, 01:13 PM im loving that all black gixxer.
xX StitcH 03-29-2008, 01:58 PM I like the all black 08, but not sure if I like it more than the 07.
Same here. There are a few things on the 08 I like more, but for the most part I love my Black/Black k7 :D
Nice bike though!
FLyFL1Pguy99 03-29-2008, 02:10 PM black looks good but I love the white one. . .
blue egg 03-29-2008, 02:32 PM damn that shit looks pretty sick.. but i still like my headlight better ;)
jonny05bv 03-29-2008, 06:08 PM Not Bad Darth
GoInLite 03-30-2008, 02:22 PM Ummm, you might want to "break it in" like you stole it. There is a thread you should read about this.
Still love the stock whale dick though;)
foskamink 03-30-2008, 06:05 PM if i were you i would run it on the manual, this hard break in, isnt used in europe, everyone prefers the slower wait, subject at debate still
BuiltforSin 03-30-2008, 07:42 PM Ehhh... I dono. Need better pictures.
Sale Creek GSXR750 03-30-2008, 09:00 PM Nice...high five :)
Now get yourself some $2 L brackets at Lowes and lose the shovel...

squale147 03-30-2008, 11:02 PM very nice best of luck
grtfast 04-05-2008, 11:59 AM AWESOME. I just picked up the same black on black 08 600. I had a 06 1000 (grey/silver), but I am already having more fun on the 6er. Unbelievably manueverable!!

Sold a 1000 for a 600. You don't see that everyday, but I'm kinda thinking a similar thought and going w/ a 750 next time around. See we may differ politically but can still agree on bikes.
:cheers

I have a mx and kart racing background, and I have always had litre bikes since I've been street riding (7 yrs). To be perfectly honest, the 1000 is scary at the track. I raced a 500cc 100hp go kart when i was younger, so I am used to some very fast stuff, but the 1000 is just stupid fast at triple digit speeds, and is still trying to wheelie!! When I did my track days at jennings on the 1000 I spent most of my time dealing with the power and speed and I think that the 600 will be more fun and faster at the track, and will still be plenty fast on the street. Plus the black on black is just sick to look at. I LOVE IT!!

squale147 04-05-2008, 07:29 PM im waiting for my white/blue 750 but i must say the more i see the all black one the more im like it
