Default First pics of 2008 GSX-R 600/750??



OK, it's come from MCN, but they stole it from a Spanish bike mag first, so it may be accurate

Looks fairly similar to the current one, with a different front light setup, and a different exhaust. And slightly different tail section.

not sure, it may grow on me ....

Engine and chassis are meant to be the same as the current bikes.

TBH i think these look better than the cylinders that came on the old Gixxers.

The real reason though is Euro 3...much much quieter and less emmisions than was required to homologate the K5.

Anyways..who keeps the exhaust for long.

I like the front fairing bit...it looks like it has ram air.

Translation from Spanish about the bike: from babelfish

"
It is not necessary that you hope the Hall Paris to know how it will be new GSX-R 600. Here you have it, in primicia. The first images of new and spectacular GSX-R 600 speak of total aesthetic renovation. For want of concrete engineering datas, we assured that in Hamamatsu one has worked to make his supersport one more aggressive. Its image follows patterns GSX-R, although it separates clearly of the great GSX-R of a liter of piston displacement. The frontal, the fairing and the quiet one of escape (exhaust) are the three differentiating characteristics of the new GSX-R, as well as the areas that more variations have suffered. The fairing is totally new, although their forms of family are conserved, like the height of their transparent cupola. The lateral openings stay, colín now more is sharpened and incorporates a later pilot of new diodes LED. Its frontal is characterized by a new triple optics - something convex towards ahead -, with elipsoidal center and two multiconvex, of great size. Under the light two enormous entrances for the system of forced air admission are located, which indicates a clear preoccupation to obtain to a high number of Maxima power, that surely already will surpass 130 cv. The quiet one of escape returns to change and happens to be more voluminous and it is extended backwards, in search of the sufficient volume to lodge the catalyst and to obtain a low level of decibels. A return to the origins, but with rectangular forms. (More information in Single Present Moto number 1632)

The looks of the front seem to be stolen from the CBR, which were stolen from the R6, which has similarities with the 6R. BORING!

True, but its a bit like on the K7 thou where they've made the pipes from mild steel and I'm sure I've read the response as "because most people change the exhaust" well what if you can't afford to change it, then your stuck with something that looks like the b*stard son of a wheelie bin and metal dustbin merged together.

I know Euro 3 is to blame but you get a bike with all flowing lines and then what appears to be spare bits of Metal Micky or R2D2 bolted onto the side of it

I still prefer my K5



Even if it is in a chavy paint scheme
