I think it's due to my accident on the VFR, broken shoulder, I get some pretty serious pain between my shoulder blades even on my CBR after about 60 miles. I guess it's just a matter of 'trying' to get a test ride on one.

If only the 600 came in Repsol colours.

They do if you order one

Not sure about this,don't think it comes from Honda UK.

They wont come from Honda direct.

But if you order a new 600RR Most good dealers can get them painted up before they are registered

The Motorcycle shop i used work for used to do it alot, just to get rid of 'standing colours nobody likes stock'
It will then be registered as say 'Repsol' colours on the log book from new

[SPLAM]

Out of interest R1CHY, any idea how much it would cost? As the logbook would state it's Repsol, would that be prove that it hasn't been trashed and rebuilt/resprayed. I thought that if a colour change was made, the logbook would be changed anyway, hence impossible to tell it was ordered that way. I suppose the receipt could be written stating that the Repsol had been done prior to delivery.

The 600RR is yellow with camel stickers looks incredable. I can get a piccie of my mates next time he's round if you want.

Yep thats right, when the bike is HPI'd..etc, it will show colour change as 'from new and first registerd' They did it to my R6

As for cost, we used to pay around £500 a bike but had them done in bulk,
i think that was with dreammachine ....it was few years back though.

Check MCN etc 'coz alot of dealers will be selling unregisterd 04 RR's off cheap with race paint schemes

Ive seen a couple of HM plant Hondas in shop windows

His is no where near as heavy on the stickers ............ although that does look rather cool

I'll get pics from all angles later this week

[SPLAM]

That looks pretty Still not as nice as Repsol. Look forward to the pics Gedi.

'snap' shattered shoulder blade when my 916 was murdered.

For some reason I'm now more comfy when hunched over the bars rather than Harley stylee.

Shouldn't be too hard to get a demo,most of the larger dealers around these parts (South West) are running 2005 600RRs as demonstrators.

R1CHY,which bike dealer did you use to work for?

[Richy]

Just to keep this fresh in Sam's mind. Who needs bright colours? The exhaust system is loud enough & Yes Sam,that is rain on it I got caught out by it earlier

Steve I'm not jelous at all, no not even a bit. Akropovic(sp) deffo looks the part, I'm sure it sounds awesome. Aren't they made in Slovenia or some other third world place? Did you get it Armorfended? If not perhaps we could get them done at the same time 'when' I get mine. Still can't track down a demo! Starting to think about just ordering one without a ride first. EDIT: rain! Nooooooo

Didn't bother in the end,however mates 05 600RR has come back from the TT with a lot of chips.

Didn't think Slovenia(sp?) was quite 3rd world,but Akrapovic quality is far better than most,but then I haven't seen my Milltek yet

Is it not, never very good at geography.

From what I've heard you cannot get any better quality than Akropovich.

EDIT: I always seem to put a H on the end.

Is that some chicken strips I see!

Re amourfend - I put a kit on my R1, it took most the day but after 2000 miles the bike is still mint.

Paint PROTECTION film.

S*d off Ben If I lean over much further I might damage those plastic lumpy things that are just below the knees on my 'immaculate' Dainese leathers
