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

Yeah but you were lucky and got a Free Yoshi with yours.

IMHO if your spending £8k on a sportsbike then £350 for an exhaust should be affordable. If not then you have over spent!.

Anyways a little birdy tells me all may not be lost...expect some exhaust updates..add ons to go with the thou soon...although its not confirmed yet and may not still happen so dont blame me!

I think that holding out for the K8 might be a bad idea if that is the best they can do. A cut price K7 600 for £5999 might be the go for me then............

That's genius with the new thou- titanium headers, titanium end can, midpipe made out of what looks like well used scaffold pipe. Nopt quite as bad as the hospital bedpan under most new Monsters, though.

Its one of the reasons I bought that bike, I knew I'd be wanting to change the can anyway so buying what I did actually probably saved me money especially as I got a good deal on the bike.

I know what you mean pretty much most people change the exhaust anyway, but like Northwind says why make the last bit of hte exhaust out of what looks like scaffold pipe on the K7 1000, it just makes it look cheap and nasty and if you are on a budget and cant afford an extra 300 - 400 quid it makes the bit look sh*t IMHO.

I'll wait and see the new one in the flesh when its out before commenting too much.

The K7 thou was already anounced well before I bough the K6, like Fizz I got the Yoshi with it and had a cracking deal as well as it was the outgoing bike.

I'm not a big fan of the K7, I don't like the standard twin pipes but then I'm not a huge fan of the original single toblerone thing that was on my bike when I got it although it was all titanium. The stubby Yoshi looks much better than the standard broom IMHO.

Hmm I'd need a bigger pic but I think I might like that headlight! What is going on with the exhaust though...it's all weirdly-angled...

This might have the potential to make me buy it in March

I dont like the new colours they are using now. the blue looks too light and tacky. need to go back with a darker better looking blue imho. rest of it looks ok though. i allways laugh when i look at the generations of sportsbikes. they are getting less and less faring these days. soon it will just be a naked and everyone will be happy!
