I like it, sort of. The side fairing design makes the car look like a Buell, though. Really weird and not especially attractive. From a 3/4 view, though, it looks great, and the front is pretty aggressive as well.

Something about it just doesn't look right 
The vertical split in the fairing looks odd too.
The whole thing looks very upright (if you get what I mean) and not aerodynamic

I will likely be in the market for a new bike come Spring '08 but the 1Krr just doesn't "do it" for me. Must be the exhaust ...... 
Maybe the '09 600rr will.

This bike looks small...almost Moto Gp like. I can't decide now, but will
have to wait to see it in person.
Exhaust can be changed...not an issue with me.
One thing i'm not fond of is the cable clutch.

I don't need my 1000 anymore. A 600 will do for me.
