Exclusive first pictures of the 2008 Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR

i must admit sice my first ride on a 1997 blade when i was 9 i've loved them but since september of last year when i was finally old enough to ride alone i've always had my eye on the blade for when i'm 19 and able to get one of my own, i was reall anticipating what the 08 blade would be, and to be honest from an engeneering point of view ist a mileston for 1 litre motorcycles and i commend honda on that, and from a looks point of view, which means a lot if not everything to a majority of riders, is brilliant appart from two points, the rear light assembly which hangs way too far back, and fair enough can be tossed away and replace by an aftermarket one, but the other main concern from a looks point of view is the midpipe cat/silencer exaust which just kills off the off side look of the bike but overall i think it will be not a bad bike, cant wait till i get a chance to ride one.
