My new K8 600 GSXR Limited Edition, White & Silver

Just a few pics of my new 600 (this is only a limited edition in the UK), I sold my k2 600 and bought this.
I had a meta alarm & crash bobbins fitted before picking it up.
I've also bought an R&G tail tidy, not had a chance to fit it yet, also not had a chance to fit the tank pad yet.
I've tried getting the warning label off the tank, but only managed to get a little bit off, any ideas on how to remove it peeps?
Does the hair dryer trick work? bit worried about using a hair dryer or heat gun where petrol is concerned !
Anyway excellent bike, will post more pics as soon.
Jury still out with the exhaust, might have to replace it at some stage with a yoshimura!!!
GSXR600K8.








PS It had been raining the day I had taken some of the pics, so it's just water,lol

Yes a hairdryer worked for me, wouldn't use a heat gun, they can get way too hot. Just keep the heat on it and take your time.

I think you'll find it is a limited edition 600, only 220 in the UK m8.
They do the 750 and the thou in this colour also, how many, I dont know.
But is definitely a limited edition.
If you have conflicting information I'd like to hear or see it.
Cheers.

why are there only 220 in UK? maybe first shipment, white is a standard k8 color, not limited edition.

and the way your talking, your a rude prick.

Re: My new K8 600 GSXR Limited Edition, White & Silver

Sooooo.... only 220 of this standard color were shipped to the UK so they could screw you on the price claiming they were LE?

You got played m8..... it's the same as every other white 2008 gsxr 600 to come out of Japan

Not trying to be a dick, just stir the pot a little

There's always one person who spoils a forum, and you numb nut have won it.
You'd be better keeping your mouth shut that way people wouldn't find out you were stupid.
Now stop hijacking my thread, so what if you have so many hundred posts, you have no right to speak to people in that manner, typical ignorant ham shanker.


And check out this link, official Suzuki website, beside the white LTD.
That enough proof for you doubters,
http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/bike/gsxr600/k8/

THIS BIKE IS LIMITED IN THE UK IS ALL IM SAYING, I KNOW ITS STANDARD COLOUR OUTWITH THE UK.

I joined this forum today, so far I've been abused a couple of times, do you think I'm going to sit back and take it ?
If Mods see this thread by all means delete the rubbish posts, I didnt start the abuse.

So anyway my 600 is a limited edition in the UK, didn't say anything else.
So if you dont have anything nice to say please don't say anything at all.
Good night to you all.

Re: My new K8 600 GSXR Limited Edition, White & Silver

it says limited, not limited edition, it means in all of UK, they have only imported 220, and more are not due in for some time

nice bike though!

I removed my stickers with a hair dryer, by thumb nail and some goo gone. I had a blister on my thumb when I was done 3 hours later.
